Morphology
lazy + fat-ass
The phrase is compositionally built from 'lazy' and 'fat-ass' (itself transparently analyzable as 'fat' + vulgar 'ass' meaning a person perceived as overweight), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will infer it labels someone as both lazy and overweight. The structure and meaning are straightforwardly derivable though the expression is highly offensive in register.
Etymology
Lazy fat-ass puts together lazy, fat and ass, where ass is a rude word for a person, to create a clear image of someone who will not make an effort and who is overweight. That's why it is used 'to insult' someone as both lazy and overweight, and it is very rude.
