Twice distant in relationship between you and him.

A twice removed cousin is two generations away from you; in other words your grandparents' cousin. A once removed cousin is the cousin of your parents.

It means that their relation is through two generations
Here's an example:
If John's grandmother is Mary, while that same Mary is great-great-grandmother to Melissa, then John and Melissa are 'first cousins twice removed.' This is because you have to go back two generations on Melissa's family tree to find the 'first cousin' of John.
I hope this helps.
Put another way, Melissa's grandparent is first cousin to John, so John and Melissa are 'first cousins twice removed.'

I think it means they've been to the looney bin twice, but I'm not SURE that's correct.

That would be a 3rd cousin
