Morphology

dookie + hole

If a learner knows the constituent meanings (with 'dookie' = slang for feces and 'hole' = opening), the compound meaning ('a place associated with dookie' → a filthy place or toilet) is directly derivable from the parts and follows a straightforward noun+noun compositional pattern. However, the first element is slang/vulgar and often absent from dictionaries, so it may be unknown to many learners even though the compound itself is transparent when constituents are known.

Etymology

Dookie hole likely comes from the childish word dookie for poop and the word hole for a small, dirty place; imagine a hole full of poop, and that strong picture explains why people call a very dirty or unpleasant place, often a bad bathroom, a 'dookie hole'.
