Actually, this phrase is more correctly given as:

Nihongo ga mama dekimasu kedo chotto wakarimasen deshita

(I speak Japanee ok, but I totally didn't understand [what you said])

I believe that it's because he's using a slang word for 'ass'. My
dictionary lists a couple of definitions for 'ono', one of which is
'ass' (slang). My jibiki is a bit out of date...

Instead of telling the poor cop you've been drinking, try this:

tama ga itaindesunee, kisu o kudasai
(my balls hurt, why don't you kiss them) [it helps if you rub
your crotch while doing this one (sorry ladies you can't play)]

Or... anata no onna ni noritai da yo (I want to ride your woman)
[this is especially insulting for a couple of reasons: first, using
'onna' for woman is incredibly insulting, second the word 'ride'
here is slang for 'having sex in a derrogatory/dehumanizing way',
and finally, even saying this phrase is suggesting that the man's
woman is a whore and he is, therefore, not a very proper man]

Or... kamo o shinasai, baka (go fuck a duck! you idiot!)

Or... doonato o tabenasai, baka (go eat a donut, you idiot!)

Or(less insulting)... baka daroo (are you an idiot?)
[literally, you're probably an idiot/fool/moron]
