Hello Jake

It's a humorous expression of surprise or alarm. It has a somewhat cartoonish air.

Hi,

In other words, it's something we read more than we actually say.

Best wishes, Clive

Yikes! I see now that many of my friends are right.
Yikes! I am cartoon-like. I use that word all the time.
Yikes! I've got to stop using 'Yikes!'.

I use it too, in e-mails with friends mostly. But then, I also write things like "Eeek!" in e-mails too. So perhaps I am also a living cartoon creature.
