Morphology
total + shitgibbon
The intensifier 'total' is transparent, and the coinage 'shitgibbon' is transparently built from clearly negative 'shit' + the animal 'gibbon', so a learner who knows those parts can infer an insulting meaning (a contemptible or foolish person). However, 'shitgibbon' is creative slang with unpredictable pragmatic force and register, so the exact nuance and acceptability are not fully predictable from the parts.
Etymology
Total shitgibbon may come from joining the rude word shit, meaning 'very bad' or 'rubbish', with gibbon, a small ape that can look loud and silly. Imagine a messy, noisy ape acting rude — that's the picture people use, so calling someone total shitgibbon says they are 'foolish' or 'obnoxious'.
