We also use lash to mean heavy rain e.g. "It was lashin it down." However in mid-Ulster "lash" has the specific meaning of excellent or wonderful and I have not been able to trace this anywhere else.
Geordie dialect also has "out on the lash" meaning to go out drinking but I have never heard this before in NI.
