John – (zero-sum game) April 4, 2021
Your definition of “Zero-sum” game is not precisely the meaning I learned years ago in relation to game theory. A zero-sum game is where there is no net gain by all parties to a game. That is, what one party’s gain is in a game (or business) situation, results in an equal loss to any other parties in the game. Therefore a “win-win” situation cannot be a zero-sum game. Likewise, nuclear warfare cannot be a zero-sum game.
Note: A lottery or a casino operation is not a zero-sum game, because the house ALWAYS extracts its share of the game.

Hayden – (chip on shoulder) April 2, 2021
It is actually older than that and came from England in the 1600. English ship laborers were allowed to bring home left over wood ships as part of their wages. When this was taken away the workers went on strike and walked away with bags of the wood chips. Hence chip on the shoulder.
