Default Dialect/Slang Word- "Lash!"

The word "lash" is in common use in Mid-Ulster (Northern Ireland) especially amongst young people. It means excellent, wonderful, "class" or "cool".

e.g. "We're aff school themorra it's gonna be lash!" "That film was lash!"

I've searched for it in Ulster dialect, Ulster-Scots, Hiberno-English and slang dictionaries but have never located it.

Has anyone ever heard of this word before or can you suggest where it might have come from?
