Are you refering to "Nushi (主)" meaning master in literal form due to usage of Oiran kotoba, but in a more casual sense in spoken language it means "you".
By the way if you watch Jidaigeki, you hear people calling others "O-nushi (御主)" which again in literal form is a respective form of Nushi.
Other name calling I found interesting was "Tawake (戯け)" in abuse by Horo towards Lawrence.
This is an old word which would equal to "Fool".
It originated from dividing rice patty(田分け) as inheritance by a farmer to more than one siblings.
Productivity and efficiency of farm land decreases when divided into small patches resulting to this hoot.
