What does no tener ni puta idea mean?

ExpressionGrosero

to have no bloody idea

The vulgar, intensified version of no tener ni idea. The puta insults nobody: it turns the volume up and does nothing else, exactly like the puto in puto frío. It is one of the most frequent vulgar constructions in spoken Spanish in Spain.

No tengo ni puta idea de cómo funciona esto.
Exasperation at oneself, mostly.
