Could someone translate this into ordinary English?  It sounds very
interesting, but the only place I have heard of these nouns with slashes
in the middle is in the pep-talk brochures the folks over in Sales write
for each other.

Seriously, no ":-)", the above sounds like something you'd read in the
"Bridge" column of the newspaper, not something you'd read involving the
nature of interpersonal relationships... "player"? "Win"? "Lose"?
"Strategy"?  I am sure glad I have never encountered an SO who subscribed
to this philosophy!  It appears to be a very weak one, where contamination
by a "lose" in the ratio of 3:1 converts the whole thing to "lose".
