applebottom: IIRC, it means perfectly symmetrical and rounded;
packing: well-hung, as in "hey, nice packet";
cornrows: what, traditionally, Black Africans, and now everyone, can do to their hair for ceremonial and/or decorative purposes: close-to-the-scalp plaits. The term itself is from US slave days; see corn on the cob for an illustration from nature [maize, just to be irritatingly obvious].

[possibly controversial statement follows: most white folks look like uutermost dorks with 'rows, I don't care how naturally curly their hair is.]
