Morphology

butt-munching = butt + munch (opaque) = butt + munch + ing

Although the form can be segmented as butt + munch + -ing, the slang sense 'extremely silly or inappropriate' is an idiomatic pejorative and is not predictable from the parts.

Etymology

Butt-munching comes from joining butt ('bottom') and munch ('to chew'), creating a rude, silly picture in your mind. That image helps you remember that calling something butt-munching means it is crude, childish, or in bad taste.
