et that as
meaning that "I never ever want *anything* except to be left
alone."  I'd interpret that colloquialism as "I'd like to be left
alone for a while" or as "Don't bug me right now."

Perhaps, because I've only seen the phrase out of context as
posted, I'm not getting the full picture.  Do others really find
it offensive [in context, out of context]?
