/Sounds like "lah" (as in "lava") + "BAHR" (as in "bar") + "LOHS" (as in "loan") + "PLAH" (as in "plan") + "tohs" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

To wash the dirty dishes with water, soap, and a sponge after eating. It's the household chore absolutely nobody wants to do and that generates more family arguments than any other topic at home.
