my word
Exclamation of astonishment
My word is a mild exclamation of surprise or emphasis, now somewhat old-fashioned: My word, that was close!
It functions like "goodness" or "oh my"—expressing reaction without profanity.
The phrase invokes one's word of honor, as if swearing to the truth of what astonishes you.
