someone tell me what this chess terms mean

Chess quotes are often misattributed and I'm pretty sure it was the Argentinian GM Oscar Panno who said this, not Timman.

I don't remember my source ( a book but which one?) so I can't debate it.
I'm 99.98% sure Timman said it but maybe he quoted someone else(Panno?).

And perhaps Panno wasn't the first to say it either.Whoever said it first,it is brilliant.
