Morphology
act + like + a + fuckskull
The frame 'act like' (behave like) is fully compositional and would be transparent to a B1 learner who knows those words, but the head noun 'fuckskull' is a vulgar, nonce insult whose exact sense is not predictably derived from its parts ('fuck' + 'skull'). Because the overall meaning depends on an unpredictable insulting coinage rather than a regular compositional pattern, the expression is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Act like a fuckskull may come from an insult that joins the swear fuck and skull, a simple word for the head. The picture is someone acting as if they have nothing useful in their head, so it means 'behave very stupidly'.
