LostAngel is incorrect. See this chart:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Your parent's cousin would be your second cousin once removed. Their children would be your second cousins. Your cousins' children would be your cousins once removed.

Imagine a family tree. The degree (2nd, 3rd, etc.) of a cousin changes when they move left or right in relation to you. Their removal from you changes when they move up or down. A cousin without removal is always in the same generation as you.

Second cousins means your parent's cousin.
Being twice removed means married and divorced and re-married.
And
Great aunt/uncle/grandparents means your parent's aunt/uncle/grantparents.
