Morphology
fuckity + fuck
This is a nonce, reduplicative expletive formed around the swear word 'fuck'; while 'fuckity' has no dictionary meaning, a learner who knows 'fuck' as a strong expletive can infer the utterance expresses intense frustration or exasperation. The meaning is recoverable by pragmatic inference from the known swear but not by straightforward compositional semantics, so it is partially but not fully transparent.
Etymology
Fuckity fuck comes from repeating and stretching the swear fuck into fuckity, which makes the word sound like a quick, angry burst. That noisy, repeated sound feels like someone shouting many angry words, so people use it to show 'intense frustration' or 'annoyance'.
