[Gabriel Mckee]

Science fiction is replete with made-up cusswords. "Frack" is having
its moment in the sun right now-- they said it occasionally on the
original Battlestar Galactica, and they use it much, much more on the
current series. But (for reasons of obvious silliness) they haven't
chosen to use the 1978 show's other made-up swear word, "felgerkarb."
