“Kemosabe”, which apparently translates as “Friend”.

Does it?

Seriously, though, it means scout. Probably.

Porn flicks do this a lot. Do we want to go there?

Sex Trek: The Next Penetration
The Long Ranger Rides Again
Splendor in the Ass
Barbara the Barbarian (bad movie, but, oddly enough, not as bad as some of the mainstream sword-and-sorcery movies from the early 1980s)
A Midsummer Night’s Cream (this one incorporates a surprising amount of dialog from Shakespeare’s play)

You left out Flesh Gordon.

Also from Get Smart, The Mess of Adrian Listenger and many more derivative titles such as Satan Place and The Apes of Rath.

No Chemo, Sabe?

For the benefit of younger readers, this is a reference to the (B&W?) Radio/TV/Film series - “The Lone Ranger”. Always masked to preserve his anonymity, he fought bad guys in the American Old West with his Native American friend, Tonto. Tonto always called the Lone Ranger “Kemosabe”, which apparently translates as “Friend”.

“Trusty Scout”.

Just “scout”. Not “trusty”. Probably. See above link.

Tonto (Jay Silverheels) said “trusty scout” on the very first episode of the Lone Ranger TV series.

Ke-mo sah-bee

It has been occasionally translated as “trusty scout” (the first Lone Ranger TV episode, 1949) or “faithful friend”.

How many great cultural references are there for The Lone Ranger? Pretty much every time I hear of the character, I think of Lyle Lovett’s “If I had a Boat”

The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said "Kemo Sabe,
Kiss my ass, I bought a boat
I’m going out to sea.

And I think of another one, Bob Dylan’s “Bob Dylan’s Blues”, which starts after the spoken introduction with the lines:

Well, the Lone Ranger and Tonto
They are ridin’ down the line
Fixin’ everybody’s troubles
Everybody’s except mine
Someone musta told them that I was doin’ fine
