Crikey, wild hogs! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gosh

'crikey' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'wild hogs' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hogs' anagrammed gives 'GOSH'.

(Other definitions for gosh that I've seen before include "English infirmary" , "I'm amazed!" , "Crikey" , "Good heavens!" , "Christmas" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
