Morphology

cut + through + the + fuckwittery

The construction combines the verb phrase 'cut through' (to get past or penetrate an obstacle) with a noun denoting pointless nonsense; together they yield the predictable sense 'get past the nonsense and reach the main issue.' The expression is compositionally transparent if the learner already knows the meanings of the constituents — the only complication is that 'fuckwittery' is vulgar slang and may be unknown, but its slang status affects register not morphological transparency.

Etymology

Cut through the fuckwittery creates a picture of someone using a knife to slice through a mass of useless, foolish talk called fuckwittery. So, it means 'to ignore pointless nonsense and get to the main issue'.
