'unacceptable' is the definition.
(something 'not on' is unacceptable or frowned upon)

(Other definitions for not on that I've seen before include "Informally, cannot be permitted or tolerated" , "Common expression meaning won't be entertained or tolerated" , "Informally, can't be accepted or tolerated" , "Impractical" , "Colloquially, cannot be tolerated or accepted" .)
