Interpolation

In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, interpolation is a method of constructing new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points. In engineering and science, one often has a number of data points, obtained by sampling or experimentation, which represent the values of a function for a limited number of values of an independent variable. It is often required to interpolate (i.e., estimate) the value of that function for an intermediate value of the independent variable.
Student 1: Bro I suck at numerical techniques!
Student 2: Just because you can't do interpolation doesn't mean you suck at numerical techniques.

interputation

An interpretation that amputates the original work, thus either giving it more merit than it originally had, or butchering it to anatomical shreds.

Interplanetaryoafalism

The art of simultaneously exploring the furthest reaches of the galaxy and the cerebral cortex, while only appearing to be sitting in the corner completely stoned. First used in 1974 during high school art class.

Pronounced: Inter - planetary - oaf - alism
We thought she was just buzzed, but her mind was fully engaged in the prospect of what it might be like to explore The Dark Side of The Moon via interplanetaryoafalism.

Interpated

Finding yourself ass over teakettle for someone after reading their blog, Twitter feed, Facebook timeline, etc. Of course, you've never met this person in the flesh, and they may or may not even know you exist.
Don't be to hard on Manti Teʻo. He just got Interpated.

Interpolation

Adding additional points/data to a series of inputs, essentially smoothing things out. Video interpolation is when frames are blended together to add the illusion of additional data.

Interbulate

L. Ron Hubbard uses the word turbulence quit often in his lectures. This is to denote a state of contradiction or confusion. A thetan in this state is interbulated.
The officials said the flu disappeared because everyone is wearing mask, but also said that COVID cases are on the rise, because people aren’t wearing the mask. Such propaganda has served to interbulate the truth, and left the masses arguing amongst themselves.
