Morphology

nucking + futs

Both constituents are non-words in standard English and the expression is a spooneristic play on the vulgar phrase 'fucking nuts' meaning 'completely crazy.' A B1 learner who knows the literal constituents (or finds them unfamiliar) would not be able to derive this idiomatic, culture-bound meaning from their parts, so the MWE is opaque.

Etymology

Nucking futs comes from swapping the first sounds of a rude phrase that means 'completely crazy'. By changing the sounds you get the playful words nucking and futs, which let people say 'very crazy' without using the rude word.
