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.

    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!

    ==========================
    The summary, as best I’m able. (Updated a couple times.)

    Things I expected …
    yes - xx
    spatchula - xxxxx
    spoon - xx
    silicone spatula - xx
    rubber spatchula - x
    rubber scraper - x
    dough scraper - x

    Creative …
    spoonula - xxxxxx (This is a real thing!?!?!)
    spatuloon - xx
    spoontula, cousin of the spork - x
    microwaved ice cream spoon - x
    Softspoon - x

    Around the World …
    maryse - x
    slickepot/lick-bowl - xx
    Pannenlikker/Pan-Licker - xx
    Gummihund/rubber-dog - x
    Portugal dictator - ?

    ==========================

    And then we got some surprise entries on the actual spatchulas behind the red thing.
    These terms totally make sense, but they sound weird as hell to me!

    turners
    fish slices
    egg slice or fish slice
    fish lifters

    ==========================

    Weird Al had a thing to say about spatchulas.
    He says I spell it wrong …
