What does “anything you say will be used against you in court” exactly mean?

Is it really “anything” and how will it be used? Never thought about it, but it sounds kind of strange.

It’s not that it can -only- be used against you, but rather that the cops collect evidence and that’s going to be used for the case against you. Your own lawyer might be able to use your statements to the police in your favor, but it’s still the smart thing to say nothing without your lawyer’s advice because your lawyer is the one who is going to know what is helpful, and also how to make sure the truth of the situation is to your benefit (assuming you’re innocent).
