Morphology
The frame 'nothing but X' is transparently compositional, but the head noun 'whoreshit' is a creative vulgar compound of 'whore' + 'shit' whose evaluative meaning (i.e. complete garbage/utter nonsense) must be inferred from offensive constituents rather than literal semantics. Because the insulting, non-literal sense and register are slangy and nonstandard, a B1 learner who knows the parts might guess a negative meaning but would not reliably derive the exact sense or pragmatic force without exposure.
Etymology
Nothing but whoreshit puts together nothing ('only') and whoreshit, a rude image made from 'whore' and 'shit' to show something dirty and worthless. That's why it is used to call something 'complete nonsense' or 'total garbage'.
