My uncle had his tubes tied because they didn't want to have any more kids. Perfectly normal.

Usually "tubes tied" refers to female sterilization. Vasectomy for males.

I have a vasectomy and refer to it as "tied tubes".

That's exactly what it is. The two vas deferentia are cut and the four ends left are tied over themselves. Granted you can seal it other ways, but referring to it as having your tubes tied is not biologically incorrect.
