Helpish is the opposite of selfish.

Being helpish is a philosophy taught by Grandma Mert to her grandson, Joey. When he was a boy he would ask Grandma why she went out of her way and beyond her means to provide for others, like cooking enough Christmas dinner and hand delivering plates everyone in her entire neighborhood. She would reply by saying, "Well, Dandelion Eyes, that is because we always help the people who have less than us. We are Helpish, not selfish."
"I will always take the time to patiently help my elders, especially when I am capable of something they can no longer do, because looking out for only myself is selfish, looking out for others is helpish!"

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.
