It means you shouldn't eat it. I know this cause i ate a green potato.
The above is probably good advice, but what the above answerer didn't say is that he/she probably spent the next 12 hours on the johnny with a wretched case of diarrhea. The fact is that the potato plant, like all others in the nightshade (as in "deadly nightshade") family contain a toxin called solanine which is poisonous to humans.
Potatoes that have been exposed to sunlight during development will turn green and can contain unacceptable levels of this toxin as do all the above ground parts - the leaves, stems and berries.
Potato varieties that are sold for human consumption contain low levels of solanine, provided the potatoes develop underground. Varities that have high levels are not marketed for consumption.
A few other plants that are in the nightshade family solanaceae are tomato, deadly nightshade and tobacco (which contains more than a thousand toxins).
