You've not heard the expression "double Dutch" then? Meaning that the person was incomprehensible... probably not a very PC saying anymore...

Never had heard before.

Incomprehensible, why would that person be incomprehensible?

In the states, 'double Dutch' refers to a style of jumping rope which involves two ropes being turned at the same time, in opposite directions. You have to have flying feet to keep from getting tripped up!
