Possibly the most famous such apocryphal tale concerns G.E.
Moore, who faced a panel including Russell and Wittgenstein,
to gain his fellowship at Cambridge. Asked to explain his
standpoint on ethics, he replied

"Should anyone ask me the meaning of 'good', I would reply
'good is good, and let that be the end of the matter'."

After a lengthy pause and considerable discussion amongst
themselves, Russell said "We haven't the foggiest notion
what you mean. Welcome to Cambridge".
