Wow! Wow!

[allenlondon]

Is there REALLY no other exclamation in the English language except ‘Wow!’?

Watching ‘Wanted Down Under’ it seemed that every other word was ‘Wow!’

Tell me that YOU don’t use this annoying word, constantly? It can’t just be me, surely?

[aelmpvw]

wow!

[Bobbisox1]

occasionally I might,

[Patsy33]

Golly! You are irritated!
:-))

[maggiebee]

Scots would say "Oh meh goad"

[Spicerack]

Wow. Why do you use it constantly, Allen? I think it's a young person thing, innit?

[Bobbisox1]

I like Wowser as a word :0}

[dannyk13]

Gosh!

[aelmpvw]

'basically' is the one that makes me twitch . . .

[pastafreak]

Oh. My. Goddddd!! Said in a screechy voice.
That what Americans say...marginally more annoying than wow!

[allenlondon]

Spicerack. We used to have a thing called Comprehension as part of the English exam. Weren’t you there that day?

[drmorgans]

It's all Kate Bush's fault

[mallyh]

[Spicerack]

I missed a lot of days, Allen, if you can believe it.

[jno]

yes, it does seem to be a thing on telly, doesn't it. Even on history programmes presented by over-20-year-olds.

[Bobbisox1]

[Peter Pedant]

// I like Wowser as a word :0}//

[THECORBYLOON]

Was it not "Hello" before "Hi"?

[naomi24]

Yes, I do use it occasionally. A suitable way to express a variety of reactions. You'll find it in most dictionaries.

[Bobbisox1]

the OP should be in Animals and Nature making Doggie noises :0}
