extent except (extent[1],extent[last()])
I know, not so funny. Or memorable, since apparently no one ever
remembers 'except'. :-)
Except that this is only defined for sequences of nodes, while the
other answers would also operate on arbitrary sequences.
Another potential issue: doesn't "except" cause deduplication?

However, the people who answered, including myself, wanted to provide
either shorter and more efficient expressions, or expressions that are
funny and thus memorable.
extent[following-sibling::extent and preceding-sibling::extent]
extent except (extent[1],extent[last()])
