温度极速下降,老表话今晚打边炉饮烧酒


----------
Editor:

"mother's sibling's son or father's sister's son" - this is right but kind of
a mouthful. We just want to exclude "father's brother" (which is 堂 of course)

We use "via female line" but AFAIK that's not idiomatic English. A Google search
for that term only has 3,000 results and they are all from websites that copy
CC-CEDICT. And I don't think that would include "father's sister" or
"mother's brother" since there's a male in the line from you to your cousin.
