Morphology

snu + snu

Both constituents 'snu' are non-lexical/unattested, so a B1 learner who 'knows' the parts would have no meaningful senses to compose. The expression is a slang/nonce pop‑culture joke with an idiomatic meaning ('sex') that cannot be predicted from the parts, making it culturally specific and opaque to learners.

Etymology

Snu snu comes from a funny episode of the TV show 'Futurama'. In the story, giant women send men to 'death by snu-snu' — a comic idea of forcing men to have lots of 'sex', so today snu snu is used to mean 'sex' as a joke.
