To gar on

Hi guys. I'd like you to help me with a question. This one is of archaic word " to gar".It's an excerpt from BBC podcast. I might have misheard it and would like to ask whether such a verb can be used in this case. Any examples would be of great appreciation. Thank you so much.

"We are garring on an uprecedented journey inside MI6 to find out what it really does."

Hi, Clive. Thank you for your answer. I've listened to it many times and I guess it's likely to be "going". Emotion: wink

It might have been a pronunciation of going that you're not used to hearing -- more like gow - ing (where gow rhymes with how). And a tiny suggestion of an R might have slipped in there: gowr - ing.
