Morphology
cunty + thing
This is a direct adjective + noun composition: if a learner knows 'cunty' (an adjective meaning extremely rude/offensive) and 'thing', they can infer 'a cunty thing' = an offensive or rude act/remark. The meaning is built compositionally from its parts rather than being an idiomatic shift, so it is predictable from the constituents.
Etymology
Cunty thing comes from the crude word cunt, long used as a very strong insult. People add -y to make cunty ('like that insult'), so a cunty thing is a very rude or mean remark or action, which is why it means 'extremely offensive'.
