Default What does it mean?
What does it mean when someone says he/she is a lush?

I though saying blah blah blah is lush was like saying someone was hot but lately ive been seeing it used as a kind of insult

Always thought it meant delicious, like when referring to food and stuff, although I've heard it used to say someone's hot as well but never as an insult

Quote:
Lush is used as a noun to mean "heavy drinker". It is an American usage.

Calling someone a lush, is different from saying someone is lush.

I've heard it used several ways.

if someone IS lush - they're desireable, lovely, fancied.

If some is A lush -they're a skank - usually when enebriated.

If something is lush - it's nice, pleasant (as in lush green fields)

I normally associate it with meaning someone is an alky, but that could just be because of the company I keep

A Lush is someone who is fond of the drink and saying someone or something is lush means delicious
