level + of + cocksuckery
While the framing 'level of' is a transparent measure construction, the core noun 'cocksuckery' is a vulgar, idiomatic coinage whose intended sense ('objectionable, deceitful, or outrageous behaviour') is not derivable from the literal meanings of 'cock' and 'suck'. A B1 learner who knows the constituent words would likely interpret it literally or be unable to reach the slang, figurative meaning, which is culture- and language-specific and therefore unpredictable.
Etymology
The phrase level of cocksuckery comes from the rude word cocksuckery, made from cock and suck, and it uses a shocking image to show how bad or offensive something is. So, when people say a 'level of cocksuckery' they mean an extreme degree of 'rude', 'dishonest', or 'annoying' behavior.
