It's a little hard to explain, because Wittgenstein never gave a definition of it, and didn't think one could be given. Basically, the idea is that there's a lot more to the functioning of language than 'stating facts' and or 'describing reality'. Language is also used for:

"...reporting an event, speculating about an event, forming and testing a hypothesis, making up a story, reading it, play- acting, singing catches, guessing riddles, making a joke, translating, asking, thanking, and so on" --http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/wittgenstein/#Lan


The best way to get a handle on it would be to read Wittgenstein's "Philosophical Investigations", and see the different examples he gives.
