No.  The best way to pronouncethe slanted bar is "over".

So you say "TCP over IP"
Notice that we also many times have UDP/IP

If you what to know what al the letters are it is "Transaction Control
Protocol over Internetwork Protocol"

TCP is a way to ensure a packet gets to an end point and in the same
order they were sent.  "IP" is a way to move packets.  TCP makes use
of I to send packets.

"UDP" is User Datagram Protocol and it also use IP.

In turn IP can run over any number of physical networks like Ethernet,
WiFi X25, or ISDN.
