Or should I just go ahead and punish him anyway? He's bound to have done something wrong

I would say that he is accurate but still a bit impertinent. You sound as though you are an imperious or masterful woman, however, to come out and say it in such a way is not necessarily respectful. As you say, I'm sure he's done something wrong at some time or another, so punishing him would still be the appropriate step to take.

There have been four warships in the Royal Navy named HMS Imperieuse.
The first Imperieuse was a French sailing frigate captured in 1793, taken into the RN as a 40-gun fifth-rate, renamed Unite in 1803, in harbour service from 1832, and broken up in 1858.
The second and most famous, was built as the Medea in Ferrol, northern Spain and captured by the British during the ambushing of the neutral Spanish treasure fleet off Cap Finisterre in 1804 by a squadron led by Rear-Admiral Alexander Cochrane. This large and very sea-handy Spanish frigate was taken into British service and refitted at Falmouth as a 38-gun 5th-rate (single-deck) frigate, renamed "Imperieuse" (without the French accent on the first 'e') and the command given to Cochrane's nephew, the dashing frigate commander Captain Thomas, Lord Cochrane. Imperieuse engaged in many of Lord Cochrane's most daring and famous actions, including the Siege of the Bay of Rosas in 1808 and the notorious cutting-out action at Basque Roads (Aix la Chapelle) in 1809 after which Admiral Gambier was court-martialled.
The third Imperieuse was a wooden screw frigate in use from 1852 to 1867.
The fourth Imperieuse was an armoured cruiser and lead ship of the Imperieuse class of cruiser. She was launched in 1883 and sold in 1913.
The name Imperieuse was also a later name of several other ships, and the name of a training establishment in 1944 that consisted of the battleships Resolution and Revenge.

I think he is calling you a bossy blighter, so if you are his Mum slap him. If it's your husband, he must be right so slap him anyway

Just ask him what it means! It does not exist in French or English.

Why not do both? It sounds as though he'd like it.
