What does WOWEE mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informal
Used to express strong surprise, delight or admiration.
Wowee is a stretched, more emphatic relative of wow, and speakers reach for it when a plain wow feels too small for how impressed or startled they are. It belongs almost entirely to spoken and casual written English, where it stands alone or opens a sentence before the speaker explains what caused the reaction. Because it sounds playful and slightly exaggerated, wowee is often used with a touch of humour rather than in serious or formal contexts.
How WOWEE is used
Informal and mainly spoken; used on its own as an exclamation before or after a statement of surprise.
