Can calling someone a "creep" show underhanded affection?

[MrShaun]

You creep! Or, ahh, I think you're incredible but don't know how to show it.

[NathanDavis]

lmao... this reminded me of that TBBT episode

Wolowitz: Penny, let me take this opportunity to point out that you are looking particularly ravishing today.
Penny: Not with a thousand condoms, Howard.

Wolowitz: So there is a number.

Words are contextual so of course it can be used in such way.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

I've never used the word like that, I use idiot instead. Only with relatives and really close friends otherwise, when I say idiot, I mean it.

[FreyaRed]

If I call you an idiot (just hypothetically) do you think you're over average intelligent?

[dustybiker]

Maybe back in the 80’s. Today creep means creep.

Darn it

[dustybiker]

@sirderpsalot123 Sorry about that. 😏

[Guy13]
