Direct own Navigation

I am getting a little confused. I am hearing the following phrase, "Direct own navigation to ....."

I understand 'Direct' means go direct to the point.

I understand 'Own Navigation' to mean rejoin you flight planned route at the next waypoint and continue to the point.

Am I wrong??

So what should I do when confronted with "Direct own Nav"?

Please can someone help me, I'm only a pilot and I try to be as professional as possible. What should I say if given a "Direct Own Nav...." clearance without playing the smart arse?

And, sometimes I am cleared "Own Nav" and then questioned why I didn't go direct.

Thanks
