Even if she had used "creepy" it would be used in conjunction with "ass" Like "Bad" in badass, or "sorry" in "sorry ass..."

Exactly. It's a really old form of black slang, i.e.,

stupid ass
dumb ass
slow ass
punk ass

I grew up with that lingo, and recognized it instantly. Hell, it's not even 'black' lingo anymore.

Yes, the suffix “ass” is used as an intensifier, and I’ve heard it used by non-blacks in other contexts.

Broke-ass Stuart
Big-ass biscuits
Spicy-ass noodles
