If I say my great uncle's cousin's grandmother twice "removed," what does removed mean? I am not asking about this example specifically, but about the usage of the term in general.

It is used to identify how many generations apart two people are.
First cousins have a common set of grandparents. If those cousins have children, the children are second cousins because they share a common set of great-grandparents. However, the relationship between a first cousin and the child of a first cousin is a first cousin once removed relationship, because the two relatives in question are one generation apart.
By the way, you can't be someone's grandmother twice removed - it only refers to cousins - children (or grandchildren or great...grandchildren) of siblings.

It is the relation of one to another through marriage

If I'm not mistaken, it simply means it's your family's in-law's in-law.
In this case, I'm guessing it's your great-uncle's cousin-in-law's grandmother-in-law.

It's all about how many marriages one is talking about.
