You know now, after thinking about it; "rubber scraper" is probably the correct term for what we're calling a rubber spatula, Your photo , is the spatula and my flipper is a turner and does not have to be qualified as a pancake, hamburger or egg turner. hmmmm.

What do people call this when it's used to remove fried eggs from a skillet? Falafel? Hamburgers?

A flipper.


What do people call a scraper when it's used as a stirring implement? A silicone wooden spoon?

A Spatula.

You can stir coffee with a pencil but it's still a pencil. It doesn't turn into a spoon.

The stirring implement? It's a thingamajig with wires that you have to keep stirring with when making lemon pie for about ten minutes till it thickens. Nothing else will do. The most boring job in the world but worth the price of admission..

I can't think of the name right now.

I did buy a battery operated one but I can't find a replacement when it died.

I have a name for the stirrer. Drum roll. A WHISK.
 

This is what I think of as a spatula. Maybe it should be called a pancake flipper and the other be called a rubber scraper. I really don't know.
