although the dictionary definition shows that any close relative who is close enough to  be greeted with a kiss (on the cheek I guess)

Subject: [Assam] first cousin - is cousin once removed

I have a question . A 10 yearold student asked a question " What is a cousin once removed?"  I checked on wiki is says once first cousin is one's uncle -- and his children are my cousin once removed. I remember checking in high school days after reading the term in a Sherlock Holmes short story - perhaps in the "Speckled Band" 
Even an American colleague was not too sure so it seems this is old system (used by older generation only
