Relevant OED entry for "extrapolate":

in data science, it means to project outside of existing data. as opposed to interpolated which means to project inside existing data.

William James in 1905, Meaning of Truth: "The philosopher here stands for the stage of thought that goes beyond the stage of common sense; and the difference is simply that he ‘interpolates’ and ‘extrapolates’, where common sense does not."

Because a smile can go a long, long-

A really long way,

A smile can go a long---- long----way------!
