This word is not considered polytheism (shirk) or seeking help from other than Allah. Rather, it is said out of wonder or regret, and it is not intended as a supplication or a plea for help. It is more befitting for a Muslim to use the prescribed legal remembrances (dhikr) appropriate for such situations.
