Thaumasmus (thau-mas’-mus): To marvel at something rather than to state it in a matter of fact way.
Huh? What? OMG! No way! Am I dreaming? It can’t be! There must be LSD in my MU TEA! You actually got me a Father’s Day card? You used your own money? I need to sit down. Call 911. Ha! Ha! Just kidding! Call CNN.
