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.

Humorous Interpretation

A. A National Forensics League division. consisting of one performance that is 10 minutes long, or a play that has been cut down to 10 minutes. That piece must be funny, varying from "not really funny at all" to "L.M.F.A.O." levels of funny.

B. The only forensics event worth watching

A. I did excerpts from the play "Greater Tuna" for Humorous Interpretation, and that audience was dying of laughter!

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.

I smoothed out the graph with interpolation.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
