A plat metal device for turning burgers/pancakes? A rubber or flexible metal device for emptying jars/spreading frosting? Something else?
Both of those. If you just said “hand me a spatula,” I’d probably hand you the flat metal tool.
Both of those I would call spatulas, but the default would be the first. The latter would more specifically be “rubber spatulas.”
There are also plastic spatulas that work just like the metal ones, but are generally considered safer in non-stick pans. And that type of spatula may or may not have holes.
It would depend on what you’re doing. Pancakes-metal or plastic flipper. Near empty peanut butter jar-silicone scraper.
I meant if you said hand me a spatula with no context and both were present.
Get it yourself, then. 
I grew up with both being called a spatula.
I’d ask which one or what kind of spatula.
I’d say it’s anything sold at…
… Spatula! City!
Though Spatula City seems to skew towards the first definition, I thought I saw a couple of flexible ones on the in-store displays as well.
@Digs beat me to my Spatula city reference dammit!
Both usages are apparently correct for us 'Muricans, but I almost never use a frosting or scraper style spatula, so my default assumption would be a flipper of some sort.
I agree: both are spatulas, but the flipper is the default. In my opinion, “scraper” is a perfectly fine name for the one that scrapes things, and I call it that, or a spreader, so that there’s no confusion. I’m mildly angry that it’s also called a spatula.
Me too, hence my statement “both of those,” in response to the OP. My point is that without context, I’d assume the speaker meant the metal tool.
I would call the flipper a pancake turner, and the spreader/scraper a spatula.
“Okay kids, let’s go!”
it’d depend on what i saw being done, to decide which type was needed
Both of those, or also a long-bladed short-handled metal thing for flipping cheesesteaks (which is related to the pancake-flipper, but definitely different). Absent context, I’d assume the pancake-flipper, but that’s just because that’s the one that’s used most often.
I specifically said with no context, undertaking a cooking activity would be context. My point is that I would assume the metal tool is the default spatula IMHO.
I was prompted to ask, because I read a blurb that said a baseball team was handing out spatulas to the first 1000 fans. And I thought, “That’s odd”, thinking of the rubber ones. The next line was, “It IS grilling season.” So my tired brain started spinning wondering, “What DO I call the metal burger flipper?” Or is the rubber thing called. something else?
noted, but if i’m there to be asked to do such a favor, i will add/guess at context visually regardless. but at any rate my personal hierarchy thinks first of a relatively rigid metal/wood/plastic flipper device, with the flexible rubbery ones a very close second.
So in the context of what I read, without the second sentence. You read. that the first 1000 fans will get a spatula. For whatever reason, my mind went rubber.
Are you from the US? In other countries, spatula more often means the rubber type, but I think that in the US, the metal burger/pancake flipper is more likely to be the first thing that people will think of.
