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?"

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
