I thought this exchange from Philadelphia Story meant smooth sailing. The dictionary says "yar" refers to speed, agility and manueverability. Not sure if that's what you're looking for.

Tracy Lord: Oh Dexter you're not doing it just to soften the blow?
C. K. Dexter Haven: No.
Tracy Lord: Nor to save my face?
C. K. Dexter Haven: Oh, it's a nice little face.
Tracy Lord: Oh Dexter, I'll be yar now, I promise to be yar.
C. K. Dexter Haven: Be whatever you like, you're my redhead.
