Morphology
total + nutsucker
This expression relies on a slang compound ('nutsucker') that is not a productive or literal combination of clearly defined constituents for learners; the derogatory meaning is cultural and vulgar rather than compositionally predictable from 'total' + literal senses of the parts. Because the second element is nonstandard/unclear and the insult’s force and intended sense cannot be derived by a B1 learner who only knows basic word meanings, the phrase is opaque.
Etymology
The rude phrase total nutsucker probably comes from a crude image: a nutsucker was a rude word for someone who does a humiliating sexual act, and adding total makes the insult stronger. So people use total nutsucker to call someone or something 'very bad' or 'deeply disappointing'.
