Morphology

Kartrashian + lifestyle

The headword 'Kartrashian' is a creative, culture-specific coinage (a pun on the Kardashian family) and is not a literal lexical item; its meaning depends on knowledge of that family's public image and the pejorative play with 'trash'. Knowing only the constituent 'lifestyle' does not let a B1 learner derive the nuanced, culturally grounded sense of conspicuous materialism and fame-seeking, so the expression is not compositionally predictable.

Etymology

Kartrashian lifestyle comes from mixing the celebrity name Kardashian with the word trash, creating a strong image of flashy but shallow living. So it is used to describe a life of lots of money, many luxury things, and constant 'fame' or 'attention'.
