My DD met the grandchildren of my cousin today? Are they something like third cousins or does 'once removed' come into it?

Your dd and your cousins kids are 2nd cousins. So they are 2nd cousins once removed.

The cousins grandchildren and any children your dd has will be 3rd cousins.

I second @MujeresLibres . If its inter generational (you and cousins kids) you use once removed. If its the same generation (your kids and cousins kids) there is no once removed.

In our family we have people that we are related to (4?5th cousins) but surprisingly everyone has stayed friends!

Occasionally we work it out but generally we say we’re relatives!

Second cousins once removed is correct.
