New to me in the GWN.

If someone asked me to guess, I would have thought it a refence to an ample rear, as African American women are supposed to have; as such it could be both complimentary or derogatory, depending one one's predelictions.

But apparently my guess would have been wrong, so - no real opinion on the matter
