I don't know what omake and egad mean but Shoujo is girl/boy love. Yaoi is malexmale relationships, kawaii means cute and shounen-ai means boy love. Yaoi is more graphic usually where shounen-ai is just cuddling, kissing things of that nature.

These are words used to reference import media from Japan. Sex media.
Shounen Ai - "Boy Love"
Shoujo Ai - "Girl Love"
Omake -means extra or bonus in Japanese.
Check out the website I post for more info.

Kawaii: "Cute!" like: "That's so Kawaii" would mean "that's *so* cute!"
Yaoi: Term for male/male relationships in manga or anime. Usually more mature/physical in nature (vs. Shounen-ai). The term has migrated into other fandoms (such as Harry Potter) to signify any male/male romance.
Ex: The manga "FAKE"
Etymology: "yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi" or "Rather affectionately termed "Yamete! Oshiri ga itai!" or "Stop! My butt hurts!" in English"
The female/female equivalent is Yuri.
Shounen-ai: Literally "boy-love" or "young-man-love". The sweet, sappy, romantic, yet still male/male, alternative to Yaoi. Usually more about hearts and flowers than actual, er, sex, that is, less explicit, if there even is any actual, er, action.
Ex: Getbackers
The female/female equivalent is shoujo-ai.
Omake: bonus, or extra. sort-of like the Special Features on a US DVD.
Shoujo: From "lesser, or little, girl". The genre is ... melodramatic stories of romance ... with a female protagonist, and drawn in a flowing style where beautiful characters with huge, intricately drawn eyes become spontaneously surrounded by flowers, stars, and/or bubbles."
Same demographic as you're average US chick-flick.
Egad: a "minced oath", from "Oh God!" or "Ye God!". Generally, they were minced either from worries over being punished by said deity for "using My name in vane" as the Christian 10 Commandments say, or just from so much usage that it got compressed in daily speech.

These are the ones I do know:
Shoujo [shojo] = girls or for girls
Shounen [shonen] = boys or for boys (as in shojo beat and shonen jump the magazines)
Yawaii = cute or adorable
Yaoi = boys love manga (gay manga. It' hilarious)
Yuri = lilly or girls love manga (as made comedic by Ouran High School Host Club)
Ai = love
