volume discount

A percentage off da standard price dat you are allowed if you ask for it loudly.

If a merchant has a "volume discount" policy whereby he will "match decibels with discounts" --- i.e., if your vocal-level is 25 dB when you ask for a cheaper price, you get 25% off; raising your voice to 30 dB gains you 30% off, etc. --- then da key would be to actually haul in a moderately-powerful PA system wif huge boomy loudspeakers --- or show up wif several of your buddies speaking through high-wattage megaphones --- and really B-L-A-S-T your price-easement request at a HUNDRED decibels... not only might you indeed obtain said products at no charge, but da shop-owner might simply be more than happy to give you da merchandise for free just to get you and your deafeningly-noisy equipment or bullhorn-toting retinue outta his joint!! :P

boomer volume

A colloquial term used to describe the phenomenon where an individual, often of the Baby Boomer generation, consistently sets the volume excessively high when watching online videos or listening to audio content. This behaviour is typically attributed to a lack of awareness of modern audio norms or potential hearing loss associated with age.

My dad always has the TV blaring at boomer volume.

Volume

They don't all need to be great the sheer volume is what makes it undeniably good. ALL of you are doing it.... A LOT. Objectively brilliant.

Hym "It's the volume of it, you know? You're ALL doing it all the time. AND my reach is being stifled. It's like I'm a retard in a group home and YOU don't want me to have the reach I might otherwise have should you not intervene. Ooooookkkkk. Ok. Is there some kind of boundary I'm crossing here!? OK. Ooooohhhh no. I get it. YOU'RE WRONG TO TRY AND STOP ME. That's the takeaway. You should be minding your own business right now. Don't worry about how much reach I have. Do worry about who I'm interacting with. It's none of your business... You don't have a right to stop me."

gradual-ramp-up-volume greeting

Refers to a non-startling strategy employed whenever you are unable to unobtrusively get someone's attention or make eye-contact with him for whatever reason (maybe he's deep in a book, concentrating hard on a household/carpentry task, or using noisy equipment, and thus he does not look up/around occasionally or hear/observe your presence) and so you start out to say hello by speaking very quietly, and then cautiously raising your voice little-by-little (like some modern-day alarm-clocks do so as to wake you "gently" instead of startling you out of a sound slumber with a full-blast ringer right away) till the previously-oblivious person eventually becomes aware of your proximity and glances up.

I'd wanted to ask my elderly neighbor about my possibly carpooling with him on his grocery-shopping trip the next day, but he was so busy using his riding lawnmower that he never noticed me despite my circling around in front of him several times, so I eventually used the gradual-ramp-up-volume greeting to finally get his attention.
