Surface Forms

Morphology

total + dweeblet

The phrase combines the transparent intensifier 'total' (complete/utter) with the slang diminutive 'dweeblet', which is plausibly built from 'dweeb' + the productive diminutive '-let', so the overall sense 'a (playfully) small or very uncool person' can largely be inferred. However, 'dweeblet' is nonstandard/slang and the diminutive/playful nuance may not be fully predictable for a B1 learner without exposure, so the item is best judged semi-transparent.

Etymology

Total dweeblet comes from total, meaning complete, and dweeblet, a small, playful form of 'dweeb' for someone nerdy and awkward. Imagine a tiny, shy person hiding at a loud party, and that's why total dweeblet means 'a very awkward or uncool person'.
