"Try and" has a very Norse/Scandinavian/Swedish feel to it.

And it makes a lot more sense when you realize "prøv" means trial/test. "Attempt this feat of bravery and stop me". It's a diss/brag, depending on whether it's aimed at others or self.

"In this quest I shall be victorious and wash the dog" = "I'll try and wash the dog"

Aha yes thank you for explaining. I agree!
