"That was close!” (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

phew

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">that was close</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(both are said after narrowly avoiding danger)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for phew that I've seen before include "Gosh, that's a relief!" , "Gosh, I'm sweltering!" , "Exclamation of relief" , "Sound relieved" , "Good gracious, its hot!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Newsday, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate, the Universal and the LA Times.
