Best Answer

A context is the way a certain word or phrase is being used. Taking something "out of context" means telling the words but not the whole picture.

For example: if I said "It's so hot today! I would kill a man just for an air conditioner."

and you told someone else that I said "I would kill a man"

you would have taken my words "out of context". You'd have told the words but not the true meaning behind them, aka, sarcasm.
