whoah
Slow down there
Whoah is a variant spelling of whoa, an interjection commanding a horse to stop or slow down.
Extended to express surprise, amazement, or a request to pause: Whoah, I didn't see that coming.
The spelling with an h attempts to capture the drawn-out pronunciation but is less standard than whoa.
