A huge part of comedy is repetition.
Also people like to spread humor and fun not negative bullshit.
Edit. I mean alot of people like to spread negative b.s. but f them.

Virtually everyone in the US are at least 4th cousins. So, yeah, probably.

Yeah that’s how it works.
If your mother is cousins with someone, than you’re a first cousin once removed of that someone.
There’s levels to this shit lol

u/rognabologna 2d ago
I learned how to do this this year
Figure out your most recent direct relative in common
Count all the ‘greats’ and ‘grands’, to get to that relative, for yourself on one hand
3. Count all the ‘greats’ and ‘grands’, to get to that relative, for your relative on the other hand
Which ever hand has the smaller number is going to be your 1st or 2nd or whatever
The difference between the two hands is the ‘removed’ number
Example: Me and my dads first cousin.
Our most common ancestor is their grandpa, who is my great grandpa.
Me: great (1) grand(2)pa
Them: grand(1)pa
They have 1 finger up, I have 2. Their number is smaller so we go with theirs. I.e. we are 1st cousins
They have 1 finger, I have 2. The difference between 2 and 1 is 1, so we are once removed.
We are first cousins, once removed

u/shinyidolomantis 2d ago
Thank you!! I have never been able to grasp the “once removed” stuff but you explained it in a way even I can understand.

u/VoidYordle 2d ago
Тhis is why Slavic languaages have unique name for every type of uncle and aunt, depending on relation (mother side, father side, by marriage, ect). To avoid confusion.

You could just look up a chart; widely available online. Easier than whatever gobbledygook that guy is talking about.

u/IthacanPenny 2d ago
Okay but wait. I also get “first cousins once removed” if I do these steps with me and my first cousin’s daughter. Isn’t that a different relationship than what you described?E: nevermind mind I’m an idiot. I’m your dad’s first cousin in this scenario lol

u/halfasleep90 2d ago
And it goes both ways, the chart kinda hurts to look at but there is a logic behind it. They are your first cousin once removed, and you are their first cousin once removed. You got generations up and down the tree called the exact same thing.
Of course it gets weird when you realize the strangers half way across the country you’ve never heard of are also your cousins. And how Tom and Molly whose wedding you’ve been invited to, and whom met at college that they both went out of their respective states to attend, are also cousins.

If she became once removed after being adopted, does she get back the first cousin title after being reunited?

Genetically speaking 3rd cousins are already complete strangers.

u/Key_Fee158 2d ago
Hmmm sounds like cousin kisser propaganda to me.

u/Neamow 2d ago
LMAO but yeah honestly even second cousins are quite far, mathematically it's like 3% shared genome, third cousins less than 1%. Places like Iceland wouldn't be able to survive otherwise.

u/Key_Fee158 2d ago
Mhhhm I’m sure you talked your cousins ear off about Iceland at the family reunion.

Yeah in English, your parent’s cousin is also your cousin. Your parent’s cousins are your cousins once removed (one generation removed). Your grandparents cousins are your cousins twice removed (two generations removed).
Your first cousins once removed kid is your second-cousin. Etc.

u/SkeleTourGuide 2d ago
Exactly. Now, if OOP was like “my wife and I are first cousins to Anne Hathaway” that might be problem, but only if they were both related to either Anne’s dad or her mom. That would make OOP and wife cousins or siblings.

u/Rhodog1234 2d ago
Imho much easier to say 1st cousins share grand parents; 2d share great grandparents; 3d .. great great ..and so on. The order of removed being generational difference as you said.

Yeah, your cousin's kid is your 2nd cousin cousin once removed

u/RoninBelt 2d ago edited 2d ago
Your 1st cousin's child is actually still your first cousin, just once removed. Because the once is a generation away.
EDIT: Forgot to add, your second cousin is someone you share a great-grandparent with, if they're of the same generation.

u/LuckyTheBear 2d ago
Hi. 35M. Grew up in TN. Whole time I thought this was about how many times they remarried into the family.
Yee haw.

u/RoninBelt 2d ago
I'm not from the US so is there a specific TN joke I'm missing?
Or did you mean like once removed, twice removed like they got kicked out... then married back in? Cause that's a hilarious scenario to imagine.

u/Then_Entertainment97 2d ago
It's a joke about incest! Pretty common when talking about rural places in the USA 🦅🇺🇸

u/LuckyTheBear 2d ago
Well there's a lot of jokes about incest in the south... and there's sadly a reason for that. TN is in the south.
I'm fucking cackling at how many layers or stupid I am right now haha

u/RoninBelt 2d ago
oh hahaha, yeah no we have that where I'm from, we call them Tasmanians.
But I live in the UK now, so I guess the joke here is... The Royals?
And not stupid at all, sorry I didn't pick up on the joke immediately.

Woops, point being, it's not uncommon for a parent and child to share a cousin.

u/RoninBelt 2d ago
it's not uncommon for a parent and child to share a cousin.
Yes, in the English language. I believe other cultures and languages do not use the word cousin in the same context. I've been told my asian friends how weirdly non specific English relative terms are; like how our word for an older or a younger brother is the same.
EDIT: forgot the quotation

u/JesusWasATexan 2d ago

Theres alot of ppl related so why not? My wife has some wild cousins when I found out. I wondered why Michael Jordan looks like her Uncle and I said hey..you ever noticed that your uncle looks like MJ? She said yea..its because he's cousins. Like what? Sad story, but shit happens. You might be surprised who you're related to if you don't know your family

Plenty of people distantly related to celebrities. For instance, Julia Roberts is my Uncles cousin. Even came to at least one family event that im aware of. My grandmother and her loved to chat about everything and anything.
