Juliet calls Romeo a "villain", a "tyrant" and a "damned saint". (Act III, Scene 2, lines 73-79). Back then calling someone a villain was like cussing them out so it shows that she was really angry. Juliet was mad because Romeo killed her cousin Tybalt.

Tybalt challenges Romeo with the feeble insult, "Thou art a villain." Mercutio does much better: he loves to insult Tybalt, calling him "Prince of Cats", "lisping, affecting fantastico", "strange fly", "fashion monger", "pardon-me", "very butcher of a silk button", courageous captain of compliments" and finally, in challenging him, "Tybalt, you rat-catcher, will you walk?" He is also pretty free with the nurse, calling her "old hare hoar (or whore)" and "bawd". She calls him "scurvy knave."
Capulet has some prize words for Tybalt also, calling him a "saucy boy" and a "princox". He calls Juliet "young baggage", "disobedient wretch", "green-sickness carrion", and "tallow-face".
