Morphology
megabitch + attitude
The phrase is compositionally built from an intensifier + derogatory noun + 'attitude', so the general sense 'an extremely hostile or unpleasant manner' can be inferred by someone who recognises the parts. However 'megabitch' is slang/nonstandard (not in the dictionary list) and uses an offensive formation that a B1 learner may not know or accept, so the meaning is only partly predictable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Megabitch attitude combines mega (meaning 'very big' or 'extra') and bitch (a rude, hostile person); picture someone turning their meanness up to the maximum so their words and face feel louder and harsher than usual. That's why the phrase is used for an attitude that is extremely negative, hostile, or aggressively unpleasant.
