Morphology
bite + mine + shiny + metal + ass
The phrase is a humorous, vulgar idiomatic retort whose pragmatic meaning (dismissal/ridicule) does not follow from the literal senses of 'bite', 'my', 'shiny', 'metal' and 'ass' — a literal interpretation would be nonsensical. Its sense depends on colloquial insult patterns (e.g. 'bite me', 'kiss my ass') and cultural knowledge, so a B1 learner who only knows the constituent words would unlikely infer the intended dismissive meaning.
Etymology
Bite my shiny metal ass comes from the cartoon 'Futurama', where the robot Bender often tells people to bite his shiny metal ass, a literal picture of a robot's shiny metal butt. That rude, mocking image is why people use the phrase today to 'dismiss or mock' someone.
