Second cousin three times removed

OK. Here's a question for someone in our group who specializes in genalogy. Just what is a second cousin three times removed. I remember lots of older people at family reunions trying to describe how they are somehow related to each other.

When they start talking about second cousins three times removed, I have no clue what they are talking about. Anyone have any ideas as to how to explain the relative concept?

I think I understand brothers, sisters and first cousins. Anything beyond that is a puzzle.

Always bewildered,
