Surface Forms

Morphology

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

Direct derogatory compound: 'shit' (contemptible/bad) + 'dog' (person), so the insult's meaning follows straightforwardly from the bases.

Etymology

When used for a person, shitdog joins shit ('despicable') and dog to make a very rude insult, so the word labels someone as dishonest or contemptible. That is why calling someone a shitdog is likely to offend people.
