- discourse that surrounds a language unit and helps to determine its interpretation.
- the set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event; "the historical context.
- the words of something written (simple).
- any expressive work (artistic or otherwise) that can be "read", whether it uses words, images, or sounds.
- A use phrased by countless politicians, celebrities, and television/radio hosts to justify any stupid thing they ever say. While occasionally something is taken out of context, it is mostly ridiculous. [Source: Urban Dictionary] (Italic is mine ;))
- Text is the word written/spoken.
- Context is the meaning, or rather, the interpretation of the phrases of texts.
- "Taken out of context" means the text/s has/have been (allegedly?) misinterpreted!
- Text is “the food is worse, er, maybe similar to dog food”. What was it about? "There was one day they gave me two boiled eggs for lunch; two boiled eggs for dinner, and some kuah, ... and some cucumber..."
- Context is “I can tell the food is worse, er, maybe similar to dog food”. Wait! Did I just repeat that?
- "Taken out of context":
- Perhaps all the people in there were served food similar with dog food!
- Perhaps the people in there were treated like dogs!
- Perhaps only she was served food similar to dog food.
- Perhaps she was treated like dog.
- She sincerely meant it.
- She just want people to know the food in there is "amat teruk sekali" (very bad)!
- It was all for publicity.
- Few former "inmates" did back/support her claim.
- And, she wants the authority to acknowledge their oversight and act towards improvement, or better yet, fire them all and appoint the less corrupted authority for that facility!
- She equated "two boiled eggs for lunch... (and) dinner" to "worse... (or) similar to dog food"
- She must be filthy rich or ignorant to be able to make such claim!
- She must have never seen who, day and night, has to eat such half-a-"dog food" (because they couldn't afford more "dog food").
- Of course, who are those people outside anyway? The people inside was more important because they might be able to change the world!

P/S: BTW, since there's no name, why don't you all just close your eyes and pretend I don't exist. ;)
P/S2: I am emotional? Nooo! I refuse to acknowledge that accusation... ;)
