In my experience, the term "kissing cousins" has been used in
much the same way to mean distant "cousins", perhaps with no
actual blood relationship (married in to the family, cousins of cousins,
or even just distant cousins where the actual relationship is too
convuluted to figure)<br><br>

Any other similar 'slang' type phrases defining kinship? <br>
