Morphology
The verb 'suck' combined with 'big one' does evoke a crude sexual image that a learner who knows the constituent words could plausibly infer, but the phrase functions pragmatically as a dismissive insult rather than a literal instruction. The insulting, culturally loaded usage and pragmatic force are not fully predictable from the constituents alone, so it is only partially transparent to learners.
Etymology
Suck a big one may come from a rude order to 'perform oral sex', where suck is the literal word and one makes the idea bigger and more shocking. So people use the phrase as a blunt 'insult' or way to tell someone off.
