I didn't know how to write it, but it also crossed my mind. "TschüÜSCH!" felt very wrong.

Ammata udu! (Ammata means "to mom", no idea what udu means)

But that's just the polish, phonetic way of "wow". Like saying "uao" in norwegian. But considering that's a foreign word our equivalent would be more like "dæven", a soft variation of "Devil".

Basically "What the devil?!"

Oh, we use all kinds of slurrs for that. Actually, to avoid slurs you can say "guau", which sounds like "wow".
