Mainly one of surprise. Similar to "wow!" or "yikes!"
Though it could be in face of great disaster as well, or great danger,
such as looking over a VERY tall cliff...
Variations are "Gee whiz!" or even... "Jesus!" / "Jesus Christ!"
In a way, it's similar to Asian expression "May Buddha preserve me!"
