i have been wondering about how to call certain specific familial situations and i'm hoping that we have some genealogists here that can help me out 
so, without further ado....
1) what do you call the male cousin of your spouse's uncle's wife? in other words, your spouse's mother's brother (by blood), marries a woman who has a cousin. is he just simply "cousin"? or is there some more specific name for this relationship?
2) what do you call your mother's husband's brother? your mother marries a man who is not your father, and he has a brother. brother in law? uncle in law?
3) a couple has a child. the husband has another child with a different woman. that different woman has another child with a different man. that different man has another child with yet another different woman. you are related to that last child, how are you specifically related to those other (half) siblings?

Wouldn't 2) be a step-uncle?

I don't think it's an "official" term, but I think enough people have made it up from first...
