Whoa. It's spelled whoa.

When you take a breath, you breathe.

When you smooth cream on a burn, you soothe it.

When someone gives a present to him(and me), or (him and)me, we say thank you.

When he(and I) or (he and)I want to go somewhere, we book tickets.

When he lays me down on the bed, I may have laid here since yesterday, and I will lie here till I'm ready to rise.

He may be prostrate with pain, if his prostate is injured.

Not everybody fists something, just because it's a new, popular, and rapidly becoming cliche'd way to use a noun.

More as I think of them. Thank you for your attention.

Oh, man. Don't get me started. The "him and me/him and I" thing just sets my teeth on edge. I see even educated people doing it, and I want to stuff a red pen up their nose.

I can't understand why no one seems able to spell whoa. It isn't just a random sound; it really is a word.
