Not sure how it is spelt but sounds like Owl-ars
If you want a friend to do you a favour,and they wont you say .e.g
" Oh please, it wont take long, don't be an owl-ars"
Sorry best example i could think of.
There should be a letter e after ars but yahoo would not let use it

could be the way they say 'always' like ' er ... he's arlahs saying that.' It's quite common in Lancashire and pronounced slightly differently depending on where you are. It could be said 'arluss' as you get nearer Manchester or 'allus' in the north.
Alternatively in Lancashire the wife is often called 'our lass' and as the Liverpool accent is (as described by John Lennon) a cross between Irish and catarrh with a nasal twang it could be said the way you describe it.

Sounds like they way they might say, "Our Lars." Calling someone in your family "Our (first name)" is typical in Liverpool and with the name Lee, for example, sounds like "ahrlee."
Otherwise, dunno.
