Morphology
sack-whack + comment
The modifier 'sack-whack' is not a standard lexical combination of 'sack' + 'whack' and is absent from dictionaries; knowing 'sack' and 'whack' would not reliably lead a B1 learner to the sense 'crude or vulgar remark', even though 'comment' is transparent. The expression is slangy/idiomatic and its meaning is not compositionally predictable or cross-linguistically regular, so it should be classed as opaque.
Etymology
Sack-whack comment likely joins sack, a slang word for a man's 'private parts', and whack, meaning 'to hit', making a rude, shocking picture. That's why it means a 'crude or vulgar remark' that can embarrass people.
