Either the play is legal or the play is not legal. I agree with Peter.
Just my humble opinion and observation.

I thought "no call" generally referred to a situation that, at face value, looks like an easy foul call but because of the parameters, is doesn't warrant a whistle.
Like contact between driving A1 and B2, where no advantage is gained on either side. Or, A1 posts up on B2, A1 spins into B2 who flops to try and draw an PCF, but the official correctly ignores the flop. It doesn't warrant a call (foul), thus it's a "no-call."
I see nothing wrong with the phrase. It's just a saying.
