This is just a saying that means you don't want to go anywhere a certain, place, person, thing, or situation. For example, "I wouldn't touch a shark with a ten foot pole." This means that you want absolutely nothing to do with sharks, not even be in the same area as a shark. It can also refer to a situation: "Lisa and Rick are fighting again. Man, I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole." You just really want to stay away from their drama.

The expression is, 'I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole'.It usually refers to a topic of conversation, expressing an opinion or refusing to answer a hypothetical question. It is a casual saying, one that would be commonly used with friends and peers. It means you refuse to engage in the topic of conversation raised or to give an opinion. By invoking the ten foot pole it means you aren't getting any where near that question.
