Anyone heard of the term "bangin'", not sexually, but meaning, cool, hip, nice, sexy, etc.?

Question

My friend and I started using this term about 3 years ago, to mean "that's cool"! Like that's a bangin' idea. Or she was "hella bangin'" (she was sexy, or beautiful!) etc. My friend told me that nobody was saying it then, but within 2 years or so, we'd be hearing it all the time.
Now, I've heard it 3 times in the past 1 or 2 months: Flavor Flav uses it to describe the chicks on his new show (first season,) several times.
JV and Elvis of Doghouse, use it to describe hot women.
I heard it on a DVD set, Playmakers, when somebody said: "Shortie was bangin'!"

All these references are adjectives, not the verb term you may be familiar with?
