Used in the tv series Lone Ranger, Kemosabe became a very popular term. It means trusty scout or faithful friend. Contrary to popular belief, this term is actually native american. This term can be used while talking to friends or brothers. It can also be used sarcastically when talking to an unloyal and unreliable person you don't like.

Lone Ranger: I still don't know why every time Tonto would laugh when he addresed me as "Kemosabe". Must be because of the way I talk.

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...
