You didn't translate the first character "干", originally means "do", and like in English, eventually evolved to "fuck", like in "do me".

To make things even worse, 干 also means dry, when using a different tone. And 爆 is also a cooking technique, where they stir fry diced (or sliced) meat with very high heat to cook, resulting in a crispy and dry exterior and juicy inside.

A famous joke is that 干爆鸭子 (when written) can simultaneous mean the delicious "crispy diced duck", or "fuck the duck until it explodes".
