The bright red rubbery utensil meant for scraping cake mix and gravy out of bowls. What is that? This really is my kitchenware. I’ll put it whatever side you say.

It’s a spoon & a spatula. So you put it where ever you want.
C’mon dude, that’s a spatula.
I thought this was a trick question or something.
I’m gonna break one of my rules and explain my joke …
Where I live, the things behind it are spatulas. And so is the red rubber thing. And they are clearly not the same.
… So that’s funny. Err … well I think its funny. I’m not very funny.Hah! Yeah, everything behind it is a spatula.
I’m not funny either. Got beat up for this post. Thought these people were nerds!
Spoon
The online restaurant store i usually go to sells them as spoonulas
Spoonula
Spatuloon.
Difficult to tell. I need a close up to see whether it is a spatuloon or a spoonula.
I’ve always heard it called a silicone spatula.
It’s a spatchula. you can scoop stuff with a spoon, good luck tryg with a dough scraper.
My mom called them fish lifters.
It’s a microwaved ice cream spoon. Helps you get from upset to upset stomach with a smaller this is tasty window.
The metal things beneath it are spatulas. The red doohickey is a rubber scraper.
If you wouldn’t use it to flip a pancake, it’s not a spatula.
Cooking shows call those thin metal things “turners”. I’ve always called them spatulas.
Etymology Online says spatula comes from Latin for “long flat blade”.
I’d call those metal things fish slices, not spatulas. Maybe a regional thing?
Must be. I’d call them an egg slice or fish slice like yourself. Spatula to me is silicone. Western Europe.
Same, UK here.
There are a lot of spatulas I wouldn’t use to flip a pancake though.
In Portugal it’s called Salazar, the same name of the dictator
I love you people.
I thought that would be a funny pic, but I don’t think I expected so many fun terms from around the world.TLDR … Spatchula and its variants wins by far.
Got some good entries in the Creative category.
But, I’m going to go with Pan Licker from now on!==========================

Weird Al had a thing to say about spatchulas.
He says I spell it wrong …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BUDwj_mXKEWe call it the ‘pannenlikker’ in Dutch. The Pan Licker, basically.
This is my favorite. My utensil is hereby declared to be a Pan Licker.
I guess I get to put it in whatever drawer I want. It’s the only Pan Licker I’ve got. No rules!
Awesome.
If it has a divot like a spoon then spoonula. Else, (silicone) spatula.
I’d put it with the tongs. If you’re just trying to grab a spatula without looking, you don’t want the dough scraper. Same logic for spoons, the scraper won’t do. So you put it with the weirdos in the bottom section.
Yes
