Morphology
dump + truck
The slang sense 'a very large, shapely buttocks' cannot be directly derived from the literal meanings of the parts—'truck' (a large vehicle) and the unclear 'dump'—because the expression is a playful sexualized metaphor rather than a compositional compound. This colloquial, culture-specific usage is idiomatic and unpredictable for a B1 learner who merely knows the constituent words, so it should be treated as opaque.
Etymology
One popular slang story says dump truck compares a very large, round rear to the wide back of a truck that carries heavy loads, as if the person were a truck full of 'stuff'. That's why people use it to mean a very large 'buttocks'.
