wowza

That's really something!

Wowza is an emphatic variant of wow, expressing heightened amazement or enthusiasm: Wowza, look at that sunset.

The playful suffix gives it a more exuberant, sometimes ironic tone than plain wow.

It's informal and often appears in reactions to something visually impressive or unexpectedly good.
