No.It means that the closest ancestor that two people have in common is a grandparent. (If they were any more closely related, they would be siblings.) ?Second cousins? means that the closest common ancestor is a great-grandparent. Third cousins, then, have a great-great-grandparent as their most recent common ancestor.
