Edit. I understand now, thanks.

What is a second cousin? Your cousins cousin? The person your aunt/uncle marrieds niece/nephew? That can't be right, that's not blood. Help! Lol
- I find this chart helpful to see family relationships.
  
  Then its not even an issue at all from a genetic standpoint. People might find their relationship weird but their children would turn out healthy.
  
  Where do we draw the line when a cousin becomes acceptable? I want a clear number
  
  The number of your cousins divided by two plus seven is what I heard
  
  As always it depends on how hot they are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  
  There is no line. Nothing is true, everything is permitted.
  
  And the points don't matter.
  
  That is helpful, thanks
  
  Meanwhile the Chinese need a calculator to find out what to call their father's sister's daughter's husband's father
  
  And Koreans. I don't know much about Chinese, but in Korea it also matters whether you're a boy or girl in what you call your relation.
- My aunt’s kid is my cousin. My cousin’s kid and my kid are second cousins.
  
  It’s essentially finding the most recent common ancestor. My cousins and I share grandparents. Second cousins share great-grandparents, and so on.
  
  “Once removed” and such refers to generational differences. So, my first cousin’s kid is my first cousin once removed, and my kid’s second cousin.
  
  Gotcha. I was thinking across the tree, not down it. Thank you
- I'm pretty sure it's the children of your parent's cousins
- What is a second cousin?
  
  Someone with whom your most recent common ancestor is a great grandparent to both of you.
  
  Like how a first cousin is someone with whom your most recent common ancestor is a grandparent to both of you (aka you both have a same grandparent but not a same parent - meaning one of each of your parents are siblings with each other).
  
  If the most recent common ancestor isn't the same relation for both of you, then there's probably a "times removed" or one of you is some variety of aunt/uncle to the other.
  
  Thanks for ignoring the edit on my comment.
- Your Nan's sisters granddaughter
  
  My not a number?
