In Spaceball's when Dark Helmet says he's Lonestar's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate he could have simply shortened it to say that he was Lonestar's cousin's former roommate. Your father's brother's nephew's cousin is simply your cousin since your father's brother is your uncle and you are uncle's nephew even if you have a sibling you'd still be your uncle's nephew and your cousin is clearly your cousin and it wouldn't even have to be your uncle's child since you can have multiple sources for cousins and even more if you simply view cousin as a generalization term that can include first cousins, second cousins, third cousins, etc etc to vary degrees of separation, but the point is that I'm really bored, but father's brother's nephew is simply yourself and syntactically null in this sense. Furthermore since you can pretty much be anybody's roommate Dark Helmet could be any relation to Lonestar so when he goes one to say what that makes them, it doesn't actually make them anything which is true, but it doesn't not make them anything either.
