As in the exclamation. E.g. "Wow, that's so cool! ". But when you're so bowled over you can only say 'Wow', rather than a whole sentence.
I'm writing a script and I want the Hero to hear the Heroine say something really brave, and be so taken aback by it, (partly because he's in love) that all he can say is 'Wow' - but I'd rather use a different word!

The word "wow" denotes "surprise".
When you come across something which gives you happy but was not expected by you at that moment, this word spontaneously comes out of you.
It may be due to your admiration on some thing like a lovely flower, or success by some one very close to you ...
Other equivalent words of this kind being... "Fantastic", "implausible", "excellent", "incredible" ...

'astound' is another word for 'Wow' used in the circumstances explained.

How about "Oh my stars and garters!"
Whatever you do, don't use "Giminy gillickers!!!" That sounds so dumb!
