1. What does it mean?

A combination of English 'no' and 잼, from 재미 ('fun'). It gives a blunt negative reaction to a joke, a show, a game, or another experience that the speaker does not find entertaining.

2. The nuance

This is a subjective reaction, not an objective review. Calling a person 노잼 can hurt more than describing a film that way. A gentler alternative is 내 취향은 아니야: 'it's not really my thing.'

3. Examples

“이 영화는 나한테 좀 노잼이었어.”

I found this movie a little boring.

“그 농담은 노잼이야. 다른 얘기 하자.”

That joke isn't funny. Let's talk about something else.
