Mark, I have a feeling it's a slang expression that only carries an
emphatic function.
In other words, it's an intensifier which your g/f would use to get
her point across more rigorously.
Although these translations are rough, in your context I imagine
something like "hell yes, you snored" or "yeah, you snored like hell"
Hope this helps a little bit.
