Morphology
total + scrote
This is a dialectal slang insult where the key meaning rests on the slang item 'scrote', which is not semantically compositional or transparent (and may be understood only as an anatomical term or slang pejorative). Knowing 'total' does not allow a B1 learner to infer 'an unpleasant or despicable person' — the phrase thus requires lexical/cultural knowledge rather than derivation from its parts.
Etymology
The slang total scrote comes from the rude word scrote, which is short for 'scrotum', and total makes the insult stronger. People used the unpleasant image of scrote to call someone disgusting or mean, so the phrase now means 'an unpleasant or despicable person'.
