Morphology
the + sperminator
The determiner 'the' gives no semantic difficulty, and the central element is clearly built from 'sperm' plus an agentive/colloquial formative (‑inator), so a learner who knows 'sperm' could infer an agentive meaning (‘one who produces or is associated with sperm’). However, the exact humorous/pejorative nuance—specifically the sense of a man notable for fathering many children—is slangy and relies on informal word-formation patterns that are not fully predictable at B1, so full interpretation would likely require prior exposure.
Etymology
The sperminator is a joking name that mixes sperm, the male seed, with the movie-style ending -inator, as in 'Terminator', to create a loud, slightly silly image of someone who produces many children. So, it is used as a funny nickname for a man who has 'fathered many children'.
