It is a pagan way of saying omg. It comes from the saying "ye gods", and, as everyone knows, the greek and roman gods had a way of messing with people's lives. So when you say egads, in a sense, you're saying "you fuckers," but softly.
It is used to express mild dismay or frustration.
Egads, you've said that already 12 times.

meaning "oh shit" or something along similar lines, egads is a perfect exclamation for the hippest of hipsters.
Egads! I'm so hip!

like “fuck” or “shit”, an exclamation, it kinda just goes with everything
example one:
model: *posts a pic*
girl: ugh egad she’s so pretty i wish i looked like her
example two:
friend: what’s that restaurant called again?
you: *cant remember*
you: ugh egad i forget
