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.

Basically it means that there is no “off the record” talking to the police after you are arrested. All your statements are being noted and they will be used against you if they can be. Even denials like “I didn’t steal any cookies from the kitchen!”

Prosecutor: Officer Smith, did anything about the defendant’s statement strike you as unusual?

Officer Smith: Yes, we never mentioned anything about any cookies.
