Not necessarily 

"Not necessarily" is a figure of speech used to dispute a statement without having to explain why. It's typically used during debates by cowards who are more concerned with their opponent being wrong than they are with themselves being right (and/or) by people who always have to have the last word in any discussion.

Although the statement can be used before making a valid point, sometimes pretentious people will use the phrase by itself. This effectively allows them to appear correct without giving any evidence whatsoever to prove the validity of their point.
Sarah: I think global warming is a farce.
Tom: Are you stupid? Global warming is uber real.
Sarah: Well according to this study, global temperatures have stayed the same for the past 10 years.
Tom: Uhh... hmm... Not necessarily.

Not necessarily 

A thing that Krisiic (a.k.a. King Lurka) says all the time.
Krisiic: DRĪKST?! (As he takes all of your fries)
Months name: ATpisies!
Krisiic: Nu hey, es not necessarily paņemu visus. (And makes a sound that seems like a dying seal)

the not-necessarily-religious 

The perfect religion for those who aren't sure if they really believe in a god, but don't want to risk the big red one. Based on being as good as you can be, but not going over the top and showing up the others, the religion of the not-necessarily-religious doesn't believe in rules as such, at least not written ones. Therefore there are no commandments, but believers are asked to be nice to people and to really try and not steal things or kill people, if they can really help it. Attendance at a church is by no means compulsory, or even advised, but a number of popular pilgrimages exist, such as the centre of the civilised world, Home Bargains.
"Hey Josh, wanna come pray to God with me and my good buddies?"
"Nah, I'm one of the not-necessarily-religious."
"Oh. I didn't know you were, uh, 'like that'."
"What the hell does that mean? Son of a bitch!"
"Ah, no! My splean!"

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
