Specific and evocative as fuck. German really is amazing.

Toilettentieftaucher is another great german word mishmash. Literally someone doing deep dives in toilets

Inventing stupid words for "weak" people like that is an ancient German running gag. Like Schattenparker (someone who parks in the shade) or Warmduscher (someone who likes warm showers). It's always tongue-in-cheek and no serious insult.
