That's really odd. To me, it seems we're so close we should be considered something. We were just at a family thing last November (for one of the mutual cousins), and I basically considered them relatives via that relationship.
thanks

Don't forget the "removed" aspect of things. "Removed" is used whenever there's a generational divide between two people.
My children will be first cousins once-removed to my first cousins.
And then, as noted above, my children and my cousin's children are second cousins to one another.
And yeah, I don't think there's a term for a cousin of a cousin. I'm assuming you're talking about a cousin's cousin through a marriage. Then you and that other cousin are not related other than through thin connections of state. (Otherwise that cousin's cousin is either your sibling or another cousin.)
It's like, say your sibling gets married. Your sibling's spouse is your whatever-in law, their children your nieces and nephews. But that's as far as that connection go.
Your sibling's spouse's parents, uncles, aunts and cousins are your total nobodies. They have connections to your sibling through marriage, but that's as far as the connection goes.

The cousins of cousins, who are not "your" relations? They're not your relations, but if you liked them well enough, you could choose to consider them "kissing cousins." they may also be called a "cousin by marriage."
Kissing cousins are distant relations who are greeted with a kiss anyway--they're distant on the family tree and you're not really sure of the connection but they're still "family."
I believe the furthest I met in my family was third cousins once removed, who was also a second cousin once (twice?) removed. Some whatever-cousins married.

We have specific names for a lot of people based on their relation. Like my brother's wife has a certain name since she married my older brother, or I call my uncle on my dad's side something different than my mom's brother. It also depends on age, so it can get very specific!
Edit:
I also tend to call people by simplified terms in English. My brother-in-law and I refer to each other as brother and sister, my cousin is my sister, my husband's cousins I call cousin, etc.
