In PSARC language "NOT THIS CASE" is like a lawyer shouting "OBJECTION" 
in court.  "OBJECTION" I find quite harsh in normal day to day English.

It is well know (to ARC members and those who have used the process 
before) to mean lets stay focused on what this case needs to do to 
deliver.   If an ARC member is saying it it is usually because they want 
to see the case converge and complete as is (or with the already agreed 
to changes) and don't want the scope of the case expanded.  Similarly if 
a project team member is saying it they are asking the ARC to not try 
and expand the scope of the case under review (often because there is a 
follow on case to come).

Maybe we need a "cheat sheet" to ARC language on the ARC community 
pages.  Other things to cover are "derailed" etc.
