Interjection

In linguistics, an interjection is a word or expression that occurs as an utterance on its own and expresses a spontaneous feeling or reaction. The category is quite heterogenous, and includes such things as exclamations (ouch!, wow!), curses (damn!), greetings (hey,bye), response particles (okay, oh!,m-hm, huh?), and hesitation markers (uh,er,um). Due to its heterogenous nature, the category of interjections partly overlaps with categories like profanities, discourse markers and fillers.
