"I didn't catch that" is slang, since you cannot literally catch someone's words and hold them in your hands. It means you don't understand what was said, usually because you couldn't hear it. It is another way of asking, "Will you repeat that?"
Example: "Can you repeat that? I didn't catch it because the television was turned up loud."
It can also mean that you didn't "get" a joke.
Example: "Can you explain it to me? I didn't catch the joke.
Another related idiom is, "That sounds like Greek to me." It means that you cannot understand the concept or the particular words used. Of course, that idiom is most effective when used where Greek is not spoken.
Example: "All your talk about resistors, diodes, and capacitors is Greek to me."
Another way to say you didn't catch what someone said could include telling someone that they sound like they have marbles, rocks, tobacco, or other substances (use your imagination) in their mouth.
