Surface Forms
Morphology
Brexshit + discussion
The head part 'Brexshit' is a slang blend of 'Brexit' + 'shit' that signals a negative, contemptuous attitude toward Brexit; combined with 'discussion' the overall meaning (a tiresome/annoying conversation about Brexit) is largely inferable from the parts. However, this is a nonstandard, culturally loaded slang formation and relies on familiarity with the political term and vulgar morphological creativity, so the sense is not fully predictable for all B1 learners without exposure.
Etymology
Brexshit discussion blends Brexit and the rude word shit to give a clear image: imagine people repeating the same arguments again and again, like standing by a pile of rubbish that never goes away. That's why it means a 'tiring' and 'pointless' conversation about Brexit.
