Despite the literal content, it is a strong positive exclamation. Frequently used to express enthusiasm or satisfaction. The intensifier 'de puta' + noun structure appears in many similar phrases.

Versatile expression: can mean to criticise someone harshly, to work someone hard, or to defeat them soundly. Tone and context determine the precise shade.
