Morphology
total + shitfuck
The meaning is partially compositional: 'total' straightforwardly means 'complete', and the second element is a crude compound built from profanity that signals strong negative evaluation, so a learner who knew the constituent words could infer an emphatic, very bad situation. However, 'shitfuck' is non-standard slang with culturally specific force and nuance that is unpredictable and requires pragmatic exposure, so the exact sense ('extremely chaotic/disastrous') is not fully derivable for a B1 learner.
Etymology
Total shitfuck probably comes from joining three words: total, meaning 'complete', shit, a word for a terrible mess, and fuck, a very strong swear word. The harsh, angry image of those words together makes it a blunt way to call something 'a complete disaster'.
