That's a broken sentence.
1 comments

Broken seems a bit harsh. It might not be idiomatic, it might fall foul of some grammatical standard. But you know what it means.
No, I do not! It is absolutely derived of context.
Kinda like how I understood what you meant here ("absolutely devoid of context") in spite of your error ("derived of context"). Sometimes we need to make an effort to understand.

I wouldn't make you feel bad by saying "that's a broken sentence! I can't understand it!"
