Get the easy mug.n. Sea between Korea and Japan and another name for Sea of Japan preferred by South Korea.
The fact that Sea of Japan is preferred by many countries doesn't mean that it can't be a misnomer.
The sea was known as "Sea of Korea/Corea/Joseon" or "East/Oriental Sea" until Japan's militant expansionism. Also, East Sea has been used for 2,000 years while Sea of Japan has been used for only 200 years.
And even if the sea was called "Sea of Korea/Japan" at certain times, Korea is only trying to keep it neutral and return it to the way it was before they lost their voice (due to imperialist Japan) by calling it "East Sea."
Who's distorting geography now?

Clearly most of the people who posted the defs for East Sea are ignorant rednecks or potheads. Some people here really need to go back to high school... or maybe even kindergarten.
Some might argue that even "East Sea" is not neutral enough since the sea is east of Korea. But take Black Sea or Red Sea for example. They're not really that black or red, are they? But "Sea of Japan" clearly favors Japan, and same thing goes for "Sea of Korea."

Get the Easter mug.A school where we pretend to be smarter then we are. There arent any fights, teachers are mean, classes suck, & everyone secretly wants to go back to their home school. Kids from other schools think we're stuck up, but the truth is that half of us that go there don't really belong there at all. We have a great sports that no one cares about, & we never go on field trips. We have more school spirit then all of the other schools in the county put together, go mavericks !

Get the Eastern Tech mug.A school in the Olathe School District filled with mostly douche bags and dumb bitches who have too much money.
Whatever you do don't date a girl from Olathe East, she's probably a dumb bitch with a douchey ex-boyfriend.

Get the olathe east mug.A town located in South Eastern Connecticut. It is mainly made up of water. The town isn't extremely wealthy, but it's not hurting financially either. Many of the children there are either on the preppy side, or a hippie ( both cliques are wannabes.) Many people here love the beach, and often decorate their homes with beach decor. It's not a completlely horrid place to live, although every one complains how boring it is. Well kids, it's not Kansas, lighten up!
"See that girl smoking that joint, with the Abercrombie clothes on the beach. She must be from East Lyme!"
