What does tail between your legs mean?
When a dog runs away from something in fear (usually after a fight), it will tuck its tail between its rear legs so its tail can't get bitten off. This is the origin of the phrase, so if someone runs away "with their tail between their legs", then they just lost an argument and are backing away.

What is the literary term for a word or phrase that describes one thing in terms of another and is not literally true?
A metaphor and simile compare one thing in terms of another, but they do have to be literally true. Metaphor and simile are poetic devices; they are poetic language. As such, they often exaggerate or make comparisons that are meant to show a connection that is poetic, but not the absolute truth. For example, saying, "She runs as fast as a cheetah" is a simile that describes her speed in relationship to a cheetah, but it is not literally true. Whereas, saying, "She is a cheetah" also makes a comparison describing her speed in relationship to a cheetah, but again it is not true.
What is the explanation and filter function of context?
Well, the context of an event or even a sentence can help you to understand it and filter your assumptions. If you take something out of context from a book, like the phrase "kill them." ... That's all you have to go on, so you might think that the character saying that phrase is murderous, cruel, or morally questionable in other ways. But if that sentence came at a crucial time in the book, after a story of a person who values life and community and who has struggled with the ethical dilemma of harming anyone even when it seems to be for the good of the community... tries to reform these people, but they continue to rape and pillage and harm the new colony on another planet. There is no prison system that can keep them... when you are there, in that story, and you hear this person who worked the entire book to save these people finally give up and say "kill them" ... it is an entirely different experience, and we make very different assumptions. Taking anything out of context actually removes some of the meaning, because you don't have the story to help you understand why this phrase or this event happened. It's like someone asking about Romeo and Juliet and you just tell them that Romeo kills someone. If you haven't read the play, then you might think that Romeo is just a really bad guy that runs around killing people and robbing them or something. But reading that event in the context of the play and what is going on in the story at the time, you don't make those assumptions, and you understand why it happened.
