'Wow' in a different context

Two weeks ago, our British guests related to us about an instance when they were in a taxi in Malaysia. The taximan asked where they were from and Stuart replied, 'UK.' and he exclaimed, 'Wow!' and said nothing after that. When they got off the taxi, Sarah exclaimed, 'Wow!' and presumably they had a hearty laugh over it. We enjoyed that joke.

But, last night's news over at BBC World News, the death of Libyan strongman for 42 years was highlighted repeatedly. One of the video clips was Hilary Clinton's response when shown on a cell phone, the pictures of the dead Gadafi... and her response? 'Wow!'
