If two ungrounded (hot) conductors touch or an ungrounded and a grounded (neutral) conductor accidentally touch, it is called a short or short circuit. If an ungrounded or a grounded conductor touch an equipment grounding conductor, it is called a ground fault.
"ungrounded" = floating.
It is the ungrounded conductor that carries the load current. It is that conductor that needs to be protected should a fault current occur. That is what the fuse in that circuit does.
In most installations in a two wire circuit the colour will be black. In a three wire circuit there will be two ungrounded conductors using a colour code of black and red.

A GFCI monitors the current in the ungrounded (hot) conductor and the grounded (neutral) conductor. If there is more than 6mA of current difference between the two the GFCI will open the circuit.

Yes 1/0 wire can be used for both ungrounded( hot wires) and the grounded conductor (neutral).

The only way to get ungrounded after sneaking out is to talk to the person who grounded you. They may not lift your punishment no matter what.
