Morphology
The overall meaning — a vulgar insulting label for an informer — is directly and predictably built from 'snitch' (an informer) plus 'bitch' (an insulting epithet), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the intended sense. The compound follows a common productive pattern in English (noun + derogatory noun) and similar derogatory formations occur in many languages, making it morphologically transparent despite its strong vulgar register.
Etymology
Snitch bitch puts together snitch (someone who tells on others) and bitch (a strong rude word for a person). People use this harsh phrase to shame someone who 'tells on others', so it means an insulting name for an 'informer'.
