Good one.,

go to the line you wish to start yanking/cutting
CTRL-V (enable visual mode)
SHIFT-$ (select to end of line)
<down arrow> (select the lines you wish to yank/cut)
d (cut lines) or y (yank/copy)
now just use 'p' or 'P' as needed to paste below or above cursor!
This is the same as fuzzy's except it allows you to "SEE" what you are yanking.
