What do you call your mothers cousin?

Your second cousin, IF your mother's cousin is her first cousin. AND ANSWER You call your mother's cousin by the same name your mother calls it, him, or her, unless you want to indicate your and it, him, or her relationship to a common ancestor. To do that, you are going to have to know who your common ancestor is and decide on a naming system such as 'counting' or 'removal '. Personally, I'd go for the removal naming system. The other just does not work as well when you got a lot of relationships to work with. Check the links for some good charts which will help one not be forced to think a lot about linage. OR you stand in a social-cultural relationship which requires that you use another form of address. Examples of cultural override:

Not really, because spouses of cousins aren't part of the kinship system in the United States. (However, you can opt to start calling each other "cousin" if you like--there's no rule against it.)

What do you call your cousin's grandfather's brother's son?

Your cousin's brother is also your cousin. His son is your first cousin once removed. To work out the first cousin (or second or third cousin) part you have to work out which grandparents you share. If you both share somebody as a grandfather or grandmother, you are first cousins. If you both share the same person as a great-grandparent you are second cousins. If you both share the same person as a great-great grandparent you are third cousins. If it is unequal you start talking about "removed". Like this question asks - your cousins brother son shares your grandparents with you, but for him they are great-grandparents. It is an uneven share. There is a difference of only 1 generation. So you are "once removed".
