So what's a vasectomy cutting out

Your vas deferens.

According to Wikipedia, they don't cut it out. They cut it, then seal one side. Seems to me that it should be called a vasotomy.

Wikipedia or not, that is not the way mine was done. They cut out a small portion of the tubes then cauterized both ends on both sides.

Nothing is removed.

A little piece is removed. At least that's what they did with mine

They keep them in a special place

A snack.

They often remove a small section of the tube to reduce the chance the two ends reconnect and heal.

So a more polite/medical way to ask someone to remove their head out of their ass would be to proceed with a craniopexy away from the rectal orifice.
