Morphology
state + of + poophoria
The frame 'state of' is fully transparent, and 'poophoria' appears to be a nonce blend of 'poop' + 'euphoria', so the overall meaning (a euphoric feeling related to defecation) can be inferred by someone who recognises that word-formation. However, 'poophoria' is nonstandard and relies on knowledge of the less familiar element '-phoria'/'euphoria' (and of the slang 'poop'), so a typical B1 learner who knows the listed constituents may still struggle to decompose it reliably. This partial predictability makes the expression only semi-transparent.
Etymology
The phrase state of poophoria comes from joining the words poo and euphoria to make a funny picture of the strong relief you feel after going to the bathroom. That's why it means the feeling of 'relief' and 'joy' after going to the bathroom.
