Morphology
wucking + furries
The strings 'wucking' and 'furries' are deliberate euphemistic phonetic alterations (spoonerism/play) of 'fucking worries' rather than compositional English words whose meanings combine predictably. The idiomatic sense (a dismissive 'no worries' attitude) depends on recognizing the euphemism and cultural slang use, so a B1 learner who only knows the surface constituents would not be able to derive the meaning.
Etymology
Wucking furries, using the parts wucking and furries, is a funny, less rude way to say the swear 'fucking worries' because people changed the sounds to avoid the real swear. That's why when someone says wucking furries they mean 'I don't care' or 'no worries'.
