Morphology
local + hooer
The noun is a straightforward compositional combination: 'local' modifies the head noun 'hooer', so if a learner already knows 'hooer' means a promiscuous person/prostitute, they can directly infer 'a person in the locality who is considered promiscuous'. The form is non-standard/slang but the modifier+head structure is transparent and cross-linguistically obvious, so meaning is derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
Local hooer probably comes from the old word hooer, a softer way to say 'whore', combined with local, meaning someone from the town. People used the phrase to paint a clear picture — a person in the town thought to sleep with many others — so it came to mean 'a person in a locality who is considered promiscuous'.
