Morphology

shitdog = shit + dog (semi-transparent) = shit + dog

The negative sense of 'shit' (poor/bad) is clear, but applying the compound to a toy is a metaphorical extension that may not be fully predictable for all learners.

Etymology

Shitdog for a toy comes from the same idea: shit ('cheap' or 'worthless') plus dog to make a strong insult. That's why people call a poorly made toy a shitdog when it breaks or does not work.
