Good question. Wow is an onomatopoeia-like word. In my connotation it is not onomatopoeia but it fits a certain definition type. Onomatopoetic words that describe feelings or figurative expressions are considered onomatopoeia-like words. Wow is one of those words. It represents the expression so many people exhibit when they are surprised or impressed. Bling is another example of an onomatopoeia-like word that departs from strict auditory mimicking.
