Swept wings...who can explain??

Hello,

I was reading an article about swept wings stall but there is something i don't understand. Who can explain a bit:

quote" A swept wing will stall at the wing tip first because the outer wing section experiences a higher aerodynamic loading (?) due to the wing taper (?), which causes a greater angle of incidence to be experienced to a degree where the airflow stalls at the wing tips"

God, what does that mean??

thx
