Cousin, as a slang, is used as a term of endearment to show a close bonded relationship or familiarity (more than acquaintance, usually someone you have known for a while). The word is shortened to "cuzz".
Example- Hey cuzz, how you been! (Ebonics Dialect- the "have" of the sentence is inferred)
The word can also be used with an actual blood related cousin.

Not funny!
