Pretty much those out of the list. Also, I use "Egads!!", but that's more due to a favourite cartoon character of mine (Wile E. Coyote).

He's the Looney Tunes character that's always chasing but never catching the Road Runner. In one cartoon, he's chasing the Roadrunner until it decides to go really fast. It runs away so fast, the road ripples behind it like a ribbon. Wile E. Coyote stops, holds up a sign with "EGADS" written on it, then another sign with "!!" written on it

I have a funny question today...

The other day, I met a very nice Japanese lady who lived in USA for a long time.
She told me that "shaving legs" is very important and it's a must thing for girls in the USA.

Would you get surprised and freeked out
if I tell you that it's not in Japan?!

Well, many Japanese girls take care of their legs and all, but I don't think it's a big deal.

So I just wonder...
how about the other countries?

[Columbine]

I use "Egads" too. It's pronounced "ee-gahdz" イーガッづ.

British English has lots of exclamations. If you're interested i could write a list.

It's part of the culture for women to shave their legs, but it isn't by any means followed by all women. Seeing as nowadays it's a personal choice kind of thing, it doesn't surprise me that much.

Have a great week, Mayumi!

I've never met a woman who doesn't shave their legs.
In fact, I would never even associate myself with a woman who doesn't shave her legs, Japanese or not.

eeek. Makes me throw up in my my mouth some.

[loveskyliemole]

Yes please!

Could you write a list?
I am interested!

Interesting
My friend from the USA said the same thing!
Do you think generally American people care more than the other people do?

Yes, I think typical Americans care more.
The thought of hairy girl legs disgusts me.

I've never heard of "Japanese don't shave their legs."
I was very young when I was there, but I still remember seeing lots of nice clean-shaven legs. And I remember seeing many commercials and advertisements for waxings and hair removal and whatnot.
