bof
meh…
Expresses to perfection a sort of laisser-aller (slackness/sloppiness) or depressed indifference that some people think might be – ahem! – a French characteristic

Are you interested in going to the movies?

(Mais) Enfin
Come on! Literally: (But) At last!
It is used when one is outraged, annoyed but also as in: What do you think you’re doing?! It can be quite funny for the recipient and cause of the indignation if he/she is mischievous, mocking or downright scandalous.
(Mais) Enfin! Ça suffit maintenant!
Come on! That’s enough now!
ça alors !
wow! or well really!
This is another very common, typically French interjection that shows mild surprise.
Ça alors ! Tu as vu ça ?

Ouf! J’ai failli me cogner sur ce truc là !
Phew! I almost hit myself on this thing here!

Usually followed by oui or non, this one is a real French classic! It’s really a flavor word used to buy time or gather your thoughts.
Ça te plaît ? Ben, pas vraiment…
You like that? Well, not really
