Morphology
bunch + of + bullbleep
The determiner phrase pattern 'a bunch of X' is transparently compositional and would signal a group or a quantity to a B1 learner, but 'bullbleep' is a non-standard, euphemistic coinage that masks the slang 'bullshit' meaning 'nonsense'. Because the head element is not literal (and relies on knowledge of English slang/euphemism rather than the literal word 'bull'), the overall meaning is not fully derivable by a learner who only knows the literal constituents.
Etymology
The phrase bunch of bullbleep mixes bull, an old word for 'nonsense', and bleep, the TV sound that hides bad words, so you can picture a pile of nonsense with the rude part covered. That's why it means 'nonsense' or 'not to be believed'.
