The difference between a joke and a lawsuit, a memory and a confession.

means The surrounding circumstances, words, or setting that give something its full meaning and let you understand it correctly.

from From Latin contextus, 'a joining together' or 'a weaving,' from contexere — con- 'together' plus texere 'to weave' (the same thread that gives us textile and text). So context is literally the weave around a thing: pull a single thread free and the pattern vanishes.
