What does out of context mean... Can someone give me an example?
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.
