Morphology

act + like + an + assmunch

The verb phrase 'act like an X' is compositional, but the crucial noun 'assmunch' is a coarse slang blend that is not a standard lexical item and whose sense (insulting, sexualized or simply 'jerk') is unpredictable from the parts for a B1 learner. Because the core meaning depends on knowing this slang term rather than regular compositional semantics, the overall MWE is idiomatic and not derivable from the constituent words.

Etymology

Act like an assmunch is a rude phrase made from ass (a word for a foolish person) and munch (to eat quickly), giving a sharp, silly image of someone behaving badly. That's why it means 'to behave in a foolish, obnoxious, or irritating way'.
