snipped
Trimmed with scissors
Snipped is the past tense of snip, meaning to cut with short, quick strokes, typically using scissors or shears: She snipped the thread.
It often implies small, precise cuts rather than long slicing motions: He snipped the tags off his new shirt.
Informally, snipped can mean vasectomized: He got snipped after their third kid.
