A *very* bad transcription. It's possible that someone wrote down
{DoH! pa'vo' yIghoS!}, or some suitably pronouncable version of it,
for the actor to memorize. Or perhaps it was like the lines at the
beginning of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, where the words were
provided on audiotape rather than paper. Whoever did the captioning
for the Farpoint episode did the best he could to render what he
thought the actor said, while the actor did the best he could to speak
what he thought he was supposed to say.
