Your cousin once removed is your cousin's child, or your parents cousin.  My 
mom's brother's son's daughter is my cousin once removed.  I'm her cousin once 
removed (actually we're adoptive step step cousin's once removed, but those 
are details.

It might be differnt in differnt places though.  Even though we're not second 
cousins, we refer to each other as second cousins rather than cousins once 
removed.
