Morphology

feel + poopless

The intended meaning 'extremely exhausted' cannot be derived from the apparent constituents: a B1 learner who knows 'feel' and 'poop' plus the suffix '-less' would most plausibly interpret 'poopless' as 'without poop' or 'lacking feces', which is unrelated to being tired. The form is non-standard/slang and seems to rely on confusion with 'pooped' (tired), so the meaning is unpredictable from morphology and would be opaque to learners.

Etymology

The phrase feel poopless comes from the slang pooped, which means very tired. Imagine your energy as a small supply called poop that is all used up; when it is empty you 'feel poopless', so the phrase means 'extremely exhausted'.
