Morphology

craporama + of + excuse

The phrase is a nonce coinage built from a derogatory base (crap) plus the suffix-like element -orama meaning a spectacle or large collection, combined with 'of excuses'—so the overall idea of a large, unimpressive collection of poor excuses is inferable. However, 'craporama' is not a standard word and the productive suffix '-orama' and slang 'crap' may be unfamiliar to many B1 learners, so the meaning is only partially predictable without prior exposure.

Etymology

Craporama of excuses comes from putting crap (something low quality or useless) together with the ending -orama (which means a big show or collection). The picture is a loud, showy pile of bad excuses, so that's why it means 'a large and unimpressive collection of poor excuses'.
