@grammargirl yup, both spatulas. Rubber/metal or soft/hard if I have to differentiate

@grammargirl I think of spatula (right) as what you use to flip things in a fry pan or grill. The thing on left is more like for stirring batter. I have seen them listed as “scraper” (and spatula).
It’s more fun with disagreement.

@grammargirl Rubber scraper and spatula. But I know the one on the left is sometimes a spatula, too.

I'm going to listen to this! But first, before I get biased, I've always thought it weird that they were both called spatulas. In my world, the one on the left is usually a "rubber spatula". One of the saddest things I ever heard was that some people refer to those as "child cheaters", i.e. you use it to wipe the cookie batter bowl clean instead of letting the kid lick the bowl.

@grammargirl
the one on the left doesn't have a name; it's a scraper, you could call it that if you like.
the one on the right is a fish slice. all other answers are wrong. -

@grammargirl Since nobody has mentioned it, I'd say both are spatulas but I'd also call the one on the right a "flipper."
[edit: ah, I see it's mentioned in tfa]

@grammargirl
Danish: Dejskraber (doughscraper) / spatel (spatula) -
@grammargirl Spatula (l), fish slice (r).
@Nickiquote @grammargirl Same here (Yorkshire). Mind, I've never seen anyone slice a fish with it. It'd be more appropriate to call it a fry-up flipper...
