Morphology
what + the + fuck + ever
The core composition 'what + ever' transparently yields the sense of 'whatever' or 'anything at all', so a learner who knows those constituents can infer the base meaning. However, the inserted expletive 'fuck' functions as a vulgar intensifier/discourse marker whose pragmatic dismissiveness is not fully predictable from the literal words, so the full force and register of the expression may not be obvious to a B1 learner.
Etymology
What the fuck ever is a rude, stronger form of whatever. People add the swear fuck to show anger and the word ever to end the conversation, so it means 'I don't care' or 'do what you want'.
