Morphology

mothertrucking + good + time

The noun phrase 'good time' is fully transparent and would be understood by a B1 learner, but 'mothertrucking' is a euphemistic, creative intensifier (standing in for a taboo expletive) whose meaning cannot be derived from the literal words 'mother' + 'trucking'. In context learners can likely infer that it is an emphatic intensifier boosting 'good', so the overall meaning ('a very enjoyable experience') is partially recoverable but not fully predictable from the constituents alone.

Etymology

Mothertrucking good time comes from people using mothertrucking as a playful, polite replacement for a stronger 'bad word'. The loud, jokey word adds extra force, so calling something a mothertrucking good time means it was 'very' or 'extremely' fun.
