Morphology
total + shitbucket
The modifier 'total' is transparent, but 'shitbucket' is an informal, creative vulgar compound not listed in dictionaries. A learner who knows 'shit' and 'bucket' would get a strong negative/profane cue and likely recognise it as an insult, but the exact sense ('despicable person' vs. literal container imagery) is non-standard and not fully predictable, so the expression is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Total shitbucket may come from the image of a shit-filled bucket, a nasty, useless container you would throw away. So calling a plan or project a total shitbucket means it is a complete 'failure' or a big mess.
