Morphology

no + wuckas

This is a phonetic/dialectal respelling of 'no worries' (no + worries), so the sense 'no problem / no worries' is compositionally derivable if a learner recognises 'wuckas' as the colloquial form of 'worries'. However, 'wuckas' is nonstandard slang and orthographically opaque (not found in dictionaries), so a B1 learner unfamiliar with the dialectal variant may not infer the meaning immediately, making the expression only partially transparent.

Etymology

No wuckas comes from saying 'no worries' quickly in an Australian accent, where 'worries' sounds like wuckas, a playful change of the word. That's why people say no wuckas to mean 'no problem' or 'don't worry'.
