RESUME OWN NAVIGATION- Used by ATC to advise a pilot to resume his/her own navigational responsibility. It is issued after completion of a radar vector or when radar contact is lost while the aircraft is being radar vectored.
Basically they are done vectoring you, and you are doing you own navigating.

Usually said as "proceed direct XXX, resume own navigation."
When you get to that fix which should be on your route, just continue to the next point in your route that you were cleared.
Personally, instead of saying "resume own navigation" I'll usually just say "on course."

Thank you for the responses, so basically it is just a termination of vectors, it does not mean they are terminating flight following right?

Correct. The verbiage for that is "radar service terminated," or "change to advisory frequency approved," if you're landing soon.

I rarely hear it anymore. It is not taught at my facility and I have never heard a coworker use it, but we work IFR jet traffic almost exclusively. A few examples I could think of where it would be used, speaking from pilot experience only:
VFR aircraft that accepts a vector and the vector is no longer needed
ATC: [traffic call]
VFR: negative contact
ATC: suggest you fly heading 090
VFR: roger, heading 090
[time passes]
ATC: traffic no longer a factor, resume own navigation.
The other instance I could think of is a non-GPS equipped IFR flight that is off route for whatever reason and needs help getting back on route, or to put it more simply, a flight that cannot accept a direct to fix clearance:
ATC: Fly heading 090 until FUBAR, then resume own navigation

ATC: [traffic call]
VFR: negative contact
ATC: suggest you fly heading 090
VFR: roger, heading 090
