So I've been having issues with this, since I have no living or otherwise conversationally reachable examples I could ask.

So, so you have an uncle Johnny right? Then let's say that uncle has a first-cousin named Jenny.

So, if Johnny's your uncle...what is Jenny? A second cousin? Third cousin? An abomination?

I think that's a third-degree aunt to you.

Edit: My bad. She's called a 'First-Cousin Once Removed', according to Quora. Once Removed part meant that she's one generation ahead of you.

at this point, you're better off calling her auntie. or close relative, if she's younger.

When in doubt, all woman more than 15 years older than me goes to 'auntie' category. If not much older than me, then its 'sis'.

Well, everyone we don't know (or familiar with) within our family or relatives, we call them 'Aunt'. Calling her a 'hag' would make her take away the 'gift' (money) intended for you in Christmas.

See? This guy is smart. Take notes kiddies, Hans here is going to help us all go places in life. If not, we'll just ice him and replace him with a better version.

Remember peeps....we're all replaceable according to our AI Machine Overlords.

Guess we're going with Aunt then. Kinda thought there was an exact term for it though.

Come on, what's the harm of calling them 'Aunt' when the 'gifts' are at stake?

The bleeding f*ck is with once-removed? One generation ahead of me, so what? My granduncle I should call him twice-removed uncle?

If my 18-generation ancestor comes back as a vampire (pls no sparkle), I can call him what? My 18th removed uncle? Sounds like 18-Forbidden to me.

I dunno. I just looked at it in Quora. But there are some people who use that term, apparently.

In my case, I just call her Auntie (or in Filipino, Tita/Tiya).

if you don't even know if this is the first Hans, how would you know if you're the first You?
