Morphology

punk-ass = punk + ass (semi-transparent) = punk + ass

Formed as a crude compound of 'punk' + 'ass'; component meanings are clear but the slang nuance and offensiveness make the exact sense and register unpredictable for learners.

Etymology

Punk-ass is made by putting together punk — a word that came to mean 'weak', 'worthless', or a 'small-time criminal' — and ass — a strong insult for a 'fool' or 'coward'. So, punk-ass is offensive slang used to loudly call someone cowardly, weak, or foolish.
