I think there are two things going on. American English is so significantly different to English English and I think sometimes people don't appreciate how big the gap is.

Gosh is kind of oldfashioned nowadays and doesn't get used as much as it used to. It's still around and still has different ways it can be used but it's not really standard any more. We don't usually use Gosh when we're annoyed, though.

Thank you for the explanation! I was wondering, because I can´t really remember any English English speaker use this expression.
It was used a lot in the USA when I was living/visiting there, but that has been years ago ...

Do you remember
The 21st night of September?
Love was changin’ the minds of pretenders
While chasin’ the clouds away

Our hearts were ringin’
In the key that our souls were singin’
As we danced in the night, remember
How the stars stole the night away

My thoughts are with you
Holdin’ hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love, remember
How we knew love was here to stay

Now December
Found the love that we shared in September
Only blue talk and love, remember
The true love we share today

This specimen was an amazing 21 feet (6.7 meters) long when naturally extended, and 0.8 inches (20 millimeters) in diameter. It was found on a road located between Alice and King William’s Town in South Africa in 1967.
