What does it mean?

‘I had a lush night’. What does that even mean?!

I’m British, English first language but I have no idea how to interpret that. I always think of lush as a way to describe someone or something (‘that ice cream was lush’, ‘Harry is lush’). I wouldn’t use it, personally, so perhaps my confusion.

But in reference to an evening - it sounds somewhat seedy, no? Or is it colloquial and I’m not picking up on it?

Do you have any words that confuse you in certain contexts, even though they should make perfect sense really?

I don't use the word either and I'm Welsh. It makes me cringe.
