Morphology
king + shit + of + turd + island
The literal meanings of the parts — 'king' (top person) combined with vulgar insults 'shit'/'turd' and 'island' (a small enclave) — transparently signal a sarcastic insult meaning someone who thinks they are important in an unimpressive context, so a learner who knows the words would likely infer the general idea. However, the phrase is highly colloquial, vulgar and creatively idiomatic, and the precise pragmatic nuance (tone, target, register) depends on cultural/slang knowledge, so it is not fully predictable.
Etymology
King shit of turd island is a rude phrase that creates a clear image: someone is the king of a tiny, dirty island made of turd and shit, so their 'power' looks silly and small. That's why the phrase is used for a person who acts 'very important' or 'superior' even though they really are not.
