Morphology
dick + muncher
The compound is compositionally built from 'dick' (penis) + '-muncher' (one who munches/eats), so a B1 learner who knows those parts can infer a crude sexual/insulting image and basic derogatory force. However, the precise pragmatic meaning—its use as a generalized term of contempt rather than a literal description—and the fact that 'muncher' is not a listed headword make the exact sense and register less predictable, so full comprehension without exposure is uncertain.
Etymology
Dick muncher comes from a crude image: dick (a man's private part) and muncher (someone who eats) create the picture of a person 'eating' a man's private part. That's why the phrase is used as 'an offensive insult for someone you dislike'.
