Two lines coming in...

How much risk is it to assume that both "Tips" are essentially earth

Neither Tip or Ring are grounded. It's a balanced Line.
Grounding either one will give you hum and allsorts of headaches.
But that may be what you want

Why is Tip called Tip and why is Ring called Ring??

First correct answer wins bragging rights.
