What does "korobchil" mean?
From this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfLeHdTDhUg
Чичен молодой в озере купался,
Русску девку коробчил, без штанов остался.
That is a verb from a Cossack dialect, коробчить / карабчить, it means "to steal; to deceive". There's another possible explanation, the word can be коропчить derived from короп (carp), then it means "to fish, to catch carp", this fits the song in a better way, the young Chechen used his trousers as a fishing net and lost them.

1@maxim - This is a mocking Cossack song about Chechens. That stanza is about a young Chechen who was bathing in a river and tried to catch a Russian girl, but lost his trousers instead. – Yellow Sky Nov 21 '14 at 10:45

2@maxim Also
остаться без штанов(to lose trousers) is usually used in meaning "to lose all what you have", "to become poor". – Dmitriy Nov 21 '14 at 12:20
