THE artery, noun, thē ˈär-tə-rē [internet meme] denoting [extremely] abstruse writing as well as any absurd situation in general In the TV action drama series '24' season 7 episode 6, 1-2 p.m. it is revealed that the character Tony Almeida survived his apparent death from two seasons ago because Henderson, the alleged killer, purposefully missed THE artery, while stabbing him gruesomely. It is commonly assumed that there are 20 arteries in the human body and at least as many ways of [explaining] away a TV character's apparent death and bringing him back into a series; however the writers came up with the purposeful miss of THE (one and only) artery. Hence this became a new standard for lame and sloppy writing.
