kemosabe

British English alternative to Mother fucker.
The British television network, ITV, translated "Yippee-kayae mother fucker" a line in the American Bruce Willis film Die Hard to "Yippee-kayae kemosabe" as this was thought to be less confusing to the British audience. Mother fucker is not a common term used in British society. Kemosabe is. It might also have something to do with Roy Rogers or the Lone Ranger...

John McClane (Bruce Willis in a vest): Yippee Kayae mother fucker!
Hermin (baddie with german accent): Hey?
John Mclane (Bruce Willis with no shoes on): Sorry, I mean Kemosabe!
Hermin: Ah! Danke. Das ist gut!

Kemosabe Brain

A joking term referring to the disorientation, forgetfulness, random changes in opinion and taste, and other mental problems that result from chemotherapy. Also spelled chemosabe.

'Why are you dressed up?'
'Because it's Saturday, and we're going to your prat of a brother-in-law's birthday party. Remember?'
'Oh, the Tory Tottenham supporter? I like him. I forgot to buy a present!'
'Yeah...bit of kemosabe brain, there?'
