Morphology

Judgy + McJudgerson

The core meaning 'overly judgmental person' is signalled by 'judgy' (derived from 'judge' + -y), so a learner who recognises that root will grasp the central sense. However, the humorous coinage 'McJudgerson' uses a playful name template (Mc-…-son) that relies on cultural/colloquial naming conventions and is not a standard compositional pattern, so full comprehension may require prior exposure.

Etymology

Judgy McJudgerson may come from a playful habit of turning judgy (someone who judges) into a fake last name McJudgerson, as if the person came from a whole family of judges. So, it is used to mean 'a person who is overly judgmental'.
