do you mean "onomatopeia?" wikipedia says it's "a word or a grouping of words that imitates the sound it is describing" (yes, i am quoting wiki, and no, don't tell my students) 

ooh... or wooooo (to tease someone) 
woohoo! yay, yippee = to show joy 
whoops, oops, uh-oh... = to show a mistake 
yipes! OMG! ooh = to show surprise 
ah...= to show understanding 
huh? or eh? (for confusion) also the canadian eh? (for, am i right?) 
aww...(for cute things) and then i really annoy my bf when i elongate words like, that's soooooo cuuuuute 
uggghhh, blechhhh, and ewww (for gross things) 
ok, okie, k, yeah, ya, yup, uh-huh, yuh-huh = to affirm 
nah, nope, nuh-uh = to show negation
