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 :shrug:

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 :conf2:

Found this

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.

Top result on Urban Dictionary says:

one who becomes intoxicated after a few drinks and flirts with everyone

Second top result says:

British slang term to describe something pleasing or desirable

Guess it's just a cultural thing

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 :joker:

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

This ^

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