Answer

Often when one has a large amount of things (mainly negative) to say about a particular topic, this idiom is used.

Example:
Don't get me started on why I can't stand him.

Answer

Aly is right; I'm just going into more detail.  
When someone says, "Don't get me started," it is usually a mock warning.  The expression suggests that they have sooo much to say about a particular subject, you don't really want to listen to all that they have to say about it.
