Yeah. Funny. Slightly incestuous works like stepgranddaughter. Not quite, but kind of.

That's true- if we throw terms around without being too concerned about what they actually mean.

Okay then, Captain Thesaurian - how about 'step incest'? It actually means that you're having sex with a step-relative. This is better than having sex with a blood relative, but not as good as having sex with a nonrelative. That's why it's slightly incestuous - because some people would still consider it incest, and some wouldn't.
To sum up: Blood relative = clearly incestuous. Nonrelative = not incestuous. Step relative = slightly incestuous.

I suppose those would be the key words. In what state or country is marriage to a semi-step grandchild legally forbidden?

*points to 'affinity'
*points to Definition 1 "sexual intercourse between closely related persons"
*points to the OP "Not really. Freeman denied it. But I wonder how many people skip this revelation..."

*points again to
*"wherein marriage is legally forbidden"
*points to
*?? so what. OP continued with "and move right on to either a negative comment or a Woody Allen mention." Not really relevant when the discussion has become what constitutes 'legally forbidden marriage', 'step-child', and other terms not based on Freeman's denial or Woody Allen.

*points to ' legally '
*points to ' law '
*points to ' chargeable offense '
Freeman denying it is irrelevant ...
