@handsomeish i guess so, people would use it in situations like:
1) Ah, this is no good. ( Something isnt working well )
2) No good. ( Maybe they didn't succeed in finding something )
3) That's no good. ( Not good )
etc.
It's like something that some people may often use, or not. Because it is a phrase
