These methods are typically put into Kernel and made private.  Also, you 
don't check whether the RX actually matches.  I'd also prefer to change 
the RX to a more efficient one.  So that would give

module Kernel
private
   def this_method
     caller[0] =~ /`([^']*)'/ and $1
   end
end

Kind regards
