<upd_detl>Daijs marks 俗. sankoku just lists it without comment at the end of ノーカウント.
Let's call [2] wishful thinking on my part. I know why we don't have a natural gloss, but it would be nice if we could cajole one in here somehow. Maybe just replace [1] with:
not counting (as in "that didn't count")
Just saw this in an anime a couple times. Protagonist said/did something seemingly hypocritical, got called on it, reacted frantically with "ノーカン.ノーカンでお願いします". The first of those feels like an interjection. Here's the official translation:
"That didn't count! Please don't count that!"
Same character, next episode, falls into a bush that's covered in fertilizer(manure). When his love interest explains to him that the bush has just been fertilized, he starts frantically trying to wipe himself off, while yelling:
3秒ルール! ノーカン! ノーカンだよね!
The first, again, felt like an interjection to me. Official translation:
Three-second rule! That didn't count... \NThat didn't count, right?</upd_detl>

「ノーカウント」の俗な言い方。
https://ja.hinative.com/questions/19446750
As in: "That goal does not count!"
or: "You cheated, it doesn't count!"

So it literally means "no count."
But in English this should be "Doesn't count."</upd_refs>
