pwah

An all-purpose, informal, cutesy interjection with a contextual meaning ranging anywhere from surprise, to delight, to dismissiveness, to irritation, to sadness, to confusion. As it's a "cute" word, it's rarely used to express serious sentiment or anger. It can also be used as a noun, again to express the same range of sentiments as above. (Tonal intonation is key.)

"I got a raise! Pwah!"

"I'm feeling all pwah today."

"Would you please stop text messaging while you're driving? Pwah!"

"Where do you want to go for dinner? Cuz I'm really hungry."
"Pwah...."

"Are you free tomorrow?"
"Um, pwah?"
