Great avatar, Inygaard!

I am confused, I must admit, about spatulas. Are they the - forgive me - rubber scrapers we use to clean out the mayo jar? Or are they larger thingies that we use to flip pancakes? Or both?

My favorite word of the day is kerfuffle, it means a commotion.

Why, thank you. I was adorable once.

I refer to spatulas as the scraper to the mayo jar (I usually use it to scrape the last bit of nutella or peanut butter for er.. cooking) as well as the flipper for pancakes. Shrug. The definition refers to the flexible blade as well as something to remove from cooking utensils.

And I just learned a new word today: Spatulate. adjective
1.shaped like a spatula; rounded more or less like a spoon.

Not sure how to use that in a sentence though... "It looks spatulate"? hmmm

Stand up, raise your right arm and say it with a bit of dramatic flair: "Excelsior!"

You'll be glad you did.
