Morphology
U-Haul + lesbian
The compound links the moving-truck brand U-Haul (implying moving/relocating) with 'lesbian', so a learner who knows 'U-Haul' and 'lesbian' can plausibly infer it labels someone who moves in quickly with a partner. However, this is slang and culturally specific (a stereotype/metonymy based on a brand name), so the meaning depends on extra-cultural knowledge and is not fully predictable from ordinary compositional rules.
Etymology
U-Haul lesbian is a slang phrase that comes from the moving company U-Haul. One popular joke imagines a woman meeting a new partner and then renting a U-Haul to 'move in' almost right away, so the phrase means a lesbian who moves in very quickly.
