Its about like genetics.
Well, okay so i have a distant cousin. and I'd always just use the term of 1st cousin , 2nd cousin, 3rd cousin, etc. Because i didnt get the meaning of like first cousin once removed. Well If you have a first cousin twice removed, Does that mean you are more related to him as if you were related to a 2nd cousin once removed? I always wondered that and thought if there was anyone out there that knew. And if the answer to that question is yes, does the "removed" mean you are less related then like a first cousin in general? Just thought I'd ask cause i was curious. haha. thanks! ((i feel dumb asking this))

Yes, the removed does mean that you are less related. If your Grandparents, and your cousin's Great Grandparents are the same, you would be first cousins once removed.
If you are of the same generation--the "removed" is not relevant..for example if you share the same Great Grandparents..you will be 2nd cousins.
But if your Great Grandparents are the Great Great Grandparents of your cousin..you would be 2nd cousins once removed.
