FelderGarb or FelgerCarb ??

I have often wondered about this...
What are the actors really saying?
I remember reading a book that had a list of Galactica "slang"
that listed this phrase as being "FelderGarb"
Watching the episode of The Lost Warrior" bears evidence to this
because whe Coloniel Tigh is in Adama's quarters requesting to send a viper patrol back to the Hitari sector to "lead Apollo back if he comes out"
After Adama says "all that effort and risk, for the Commander's son", Tigh says "That's utter FelderGarb and you know it!"
But every time Starbuck says this phrase, it ALWAYS sounds like he is
saying FelgerCarb. Watching my dvd (cylon head edition) when you turn on the text function it writes of the screen that Starbuck IS saying
"FelgerCarb". Maybe (in the show) this is a "dirtier" way to say the phrase. Like the difference between saying "crap" and saying sh%%.
Any one have any thoughts or info on this?

I have noticed that since the original airing of the show, and I put into the category of some words pronounced differently but spelled the same, or even a local slang version. They did come from 12 different planets, so I am sure a few words were lost in how they were correctly spoken. Just my view, but then I wonder if maybe these words were changed for so reason from one actor, to an other.
Have you ever notices how Lucifer pronounced Gamory compared to the rest of the crew, and even Baltar.

I hadn't really picked up on that one, I always thought that it was just
"Gomoray".
