cousin
(redirected from Cousin twice removed)

    Also found in: Legal, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

cousin

The child of one's uncle or aunt. Children of brothers or sisters are full, or first, cousins. If A and B are first cousins, A's child is a first cousin once removed to B, and children of A and B are second cousins to each other.

In many non-Western societies, cousins play a significant role in the way the society is organized, especially parallel cousins, the children of siblings of the same sex, and cross-cousins, the children of siblings of opposite sex.

That's a legitimate, if not a tad smart-alecky question, but let's just say I define success in less mundane terms than money and prestige and more in personal terms like how I broke the story about the affair between the cousin of the aunt of the guy who changes the oatmeal cookies in the office vending machine and the third cousin twice removed of the man who delivers the ink barrels.
