Indeed, but Oxford thinks otherwise.

That is definitely a "flipper", a spatula is a utencil that is usually either metal or rubber and is used for scraping out containers.

Wow, are you guys really into this?

Commonly called a spatula.

 

[dazzer1975]

known in the uk as an egg lift or fish slice, there is a subtle difference between the shape of the egg lift and fish slice, but basically its either or for the layman.

In the U.K. if someone said pass me a spatula and you passed them an egg lift they'd beat you to death with it.

If it's good enough for Spongebob, it's good enough for me. Spatula.

That reminds me, I need a new wooden spatula. I like it better than metal/plastic. You can use it on any type of pan, although it's not as easy to clean as metal.

Those are also called palette knives. ( palette knife - Google-haku )

@OP: I would call it a turner/flipper or frying spatula. A spatula for me is what seems to be called a simple spatula:

There seems to be a clear difference between US and Europe on the definition.

By the way, maybe it's just me, but if you keep looking at the picture for awhile, it will start to look like Jennifer Lopez. But seriously, let me give you an advice. If you plan to fry eggs with it, never buy the ones with holes in the middle because they are hard to clean. And make sure you get the heat resistance silicon one. (or metal one if your pan can handle it) But whatever you do, please don't call it a wife-beater or else shopkeeper would look at you funny.

I think I see JLo too!
