hellish beef 

generally "extremely good"
common in UK during mid-70s when it was most often applied to rock music, in which context it would also imply "strong" or "powerful"
the opposite was helluva tame, generally but not necessarily used in a derogatory context.

Used to described something awful, usually in Scotland and Fife.
'That result was hellish'

'It was a hellish game'
To say that one is hellish means that they are totally out of control. Wreaking havoc wherever they may be. Mischievious. A Practical Joker. The type of person that says things that should not ever be said.A person who acts like they have no common sense. A fool.
Billy is straight hellish.
