I have actually seen mooning myself. But because we Swedes have borrowed the American word,
mooning, while at the same time we use our Swedish word
måne for the Moon, it isn't immediately obvious to a Swede that mooning has anything to do with the Moon.
As I said, I have seen mooning. It happened in Lidköping, a pretty little Swedish town of some 25,000 inhabitants, less than a tenth of the number of people who live in my hometown of Malmö.
Lidköping is a cute little town and people are nice and well-behaved, but because there isn't that much to do in such a smallish town, cruising and spending money on cars is very popular in Lidköping.
So one year I saw their Power Big Meet, and there were hundreds of cars from the fifties (mostly) driving up and down the streets of Lidköping. At the very end of the parade, there was a car whose owners had painted their vehicle in garish colors, adorned it with pictures of skulls and the like, and allowed deafening music to escape from one of the open front seat windows. From the other window, a pair of naked buttocks protruded.
I can tell you one thing about my reaction to the window-framed naked butt. I wasn't thinking about the Moon.
