Morphology
cuck + chair
Knowing 'cuck' (a derogatory term for a humiliated/weak man) and 'chair' lets a learner infer a literal object associated with that humiliation — i.e., a chair linked to being a 'cuck'. However, the precise, culturally specific meme usage (self-reflection, realization, or acknowledging mistakes) and its ironic/derogatory nuance are not predictable from the parts alone, so full comprehension requires exposure.
Etymology
Cuck chair may come from online images where a person called a cuck sits on a plain chair looking quiet and embarrassed, and that simple picture turned the chair into a symbol of being humiliated or submissive. So people now use cuck chair to point to 'public embarrassment' or to say someone 'admits they were wrong'.
