the unwritten rulebook everyone agrees to and someone always breaks
means Honest, even-handed conduct in which everyone follows the agreed rules and no one cheats or seeks an unfair advantage.
from A straightforward compound of "fair" and "play," both rooted in Old English: "fair" (fæger) meaning beautiful, pleasing, and later just or unbiased, and "play" (plega) meaning sport, game, or activity. The phrase grew naturally out of games and contests, where "playing fair" meant abiding by the rules — and from the field it spread to mean honest dealing in life generally. Shakespeare gives it an early literary airing in plays like King John and The Tempest, which helped cement the pairing in English.
