How to get :contains to work with multiple criteria?

How to get :contains to work with multiple criteria?

I've got the following selector.

$("#event_log tbody tr :nth-child(1):not(:contains(System))").next().editable( '$events_src', {

I want to add additional text items Alert and Adjust to the criteria... like this, so it would select if not System or not Alert or not Adjust.

$("#event_log tbody tr :nth-child(1):not(:contains(System,Alert,Adjust))").next().editable( '$events_src', {

But it's not working.  Is it not possible to have multiple criteria in the :contains selector?
