Morphology
average + frustrated + chump
The phrase is a straightforward combination of two modifying adjectives and a noun: 'average' (ordinary) + 'frustrated' (dissatisfied) + 'chump' (a gullible person) yields an ordinary, frustrated, easily deceived person. This adjectival stacking follows normal English composition patterns (modifier + modifier + head noun), so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words can reliably infer the overall meaning.
Etymology
Average frustrated chump creates a simple picture: an ordinary person, the average, who is fed up, the frustrated, yet still keeps getting tricked or left behind, the chump. So it means 'an ordinary person who feels dissatisfied or easily discouraged'.
