I don’t get all the moose and ship references, but in my family we call this kind of thing a moose story.
Back when my uncle was like 7, in fairbanks alaska, he came home from school and said he saw a moose. That’s nice, everyone agreed. And he walked right up to it. Oh did you? And punched it right in the nose. No, you didn’t though, did you?
Yep, or so the story goes. There was some dispute as to whether he could physically reach a moose’s nose to punch it. And even more dispute as to whether he actually did.

60+ years later he still maintains that happened.
As in, unchallenged? he punched it for fun? that’s incredibly brave
In moose culture that’s considered a dick move.
