Morphology
act + like + a + cuntrag
The structure 'act like a + [noun]' is fully compositional: 'act' (behave) + 'like a' (in the manner of) + the insulting noun yields 'behave in the way that noun denotes.' If a B1 learner knows the constituent words (including the offensive noun 'cuntrag' meaning an extremely rude/offensive person), they can straightforwardly infer the phrase's meaning; the profanity does not change its compositionality.
Etymology
Act like a cuntrag comes from a very strong, crude insult: cuntrag is a shocking word people use to call someone extremely rude and offensive. So, picturing a person given that name helps you remember it means 'to behave in an extremely vulgar or insulting way'.
