So, we are very original in my family and have come up with different titles than are normally used. For example, where you would say that your cousin's son is your 1st cousin once removed, I say that my cousin's son is my cou-nephew. See? Okay, here are the titles:
Cou-nephew
Cou-niece
Cous-aunt
Cous-uncle
Cool, huh? But wait...it get's better.
Where you would say that your grandma's siblings are your Great-Aunts and Great-Uncles, we have new titles for that, too:
Great-Aunt switches to Grandma-Aunt, which is shortened to: Gramaunt
Great-Uncle switches to Grandma-Uncle, which is shortened to: (are you ready for this? It's our favorite!) Grapuncle.
Yes, we are strange. We freely admit it. Spend any amount of time with the Johnsons, Browns, Meadows and Spotts (aka, the Colorado Milligan grandchildren), and you will be just as strange. You'll be talking like a pirate and grooming 4 year olds to be criminal masterminds in no time at all!
