The phrase "to take offense" means to become angry because of what someone else says or does: "Jacques took offense when his sister decided not to go to the concert with him and went with her friends instead." The word "offense" refers to the part of a game or team that tries to earn points, while "defense" is the part of a game or team that tries to stop the other team from earning points: "The team has very strong offense and scored 20 points in the first half of the game."
