Surface Forms
Morphology
act + like + a + total + fucktwat
The construction follows a fully compositional pattern: 'act like' + 'a total' + [insulting noun] yields 'behave as a complete X', so a learner who knows the constituent words will readily infer 'behave in a very foolish/offensive way.' The only caveat is that the head noun is coarse slang and its pragmatic force may vary, but this does not prevent the meaning being transparently derived from the parts.
Etymology
Act like a total fucktwat is a strong modern insult made by joining two rude words, fuck and twat, to make a more shocking name for someone. The picture is of a person who is completely rude, silly, and offensive, so the phrase means 'to behave in a very rude and stupid way'.
