Negative First Cousin

Cousins (first cousins) share a common grandparent. Second cousins share a common great-grandparent. Third cousins a common great-great-grandparent. Extrapolating the other direction: Zeroth cousins share a common parent and are usually called siblings. Negative first cousins share a common identity: I am my (only) negative first cousin.
