"naon polongo"

what does "naon polongo" mean? Someone started typing that to me online and followed it with nasty comments in English. Not quite sure if that was an insult too. The person who typed it seemed very young and was very rude for no reason at all. If anyone can translate this for me I would greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks!

The Yaana speech variety falls under the following classification: “Niger-Congo, Atlantic-Congo, Volta-Congo, North, Gur, Central, Northern, Oti-Volta, Western, Northwest” (Grimes 1992:175). In the Ethnologue, a book published by the Summer Institute of Linguistics including information on all of the known languages of the world, its code is “YAN”. It is closely related to both Mooré and to the Mooré dialect Jooré
