Morphology
While 'total' is transparently an intensifier, the insulting sense of 'dick' is a slang, pejorative extension of the literal body‑part meaning and not compositionally predictable. A B1 learner who only knows the literal senses and standard composition patterns would not reliably derive 'an extremely rude or obnoxious person' without prior exposure to this idiomatic, vulgar usage.
Etymology
Total dick may come from the old nickname Dick for Richard, which later became a rude word for a selfish, mean man. With total the image is stronger—someone who is all rudeness—so the phrase means 'a very rude or unpleasant person'.
