value add

In lean manufacturing, a process can be classified as value-added or non-value-added based on what it does to the part. Value-Added makes the part worth more, non-value-added is a "waste" of resources.

Polishing a part never seen by a consumer is not value-added.

volume drinking

Some beers are drunk for their taste. Some beers are drunk for their alcohol content. Others are for volume drinking. Sometimes you want a cheap, not too alcoholic drink that you can sit and get steadily drunk with, without getting twatted after a few pints. In the UK drinks such as Carling and Strongbow do this job. Not the classiest or the tastiest drinks, but you can get into double figures without making a tit out of yourself.

"Fancy a Stella?"
"No, mate, I'm on the Carling. Strictly volume drinking tonight"

Volume Cynicism

A condition that forces the driver or owner of the car to adjust and control the volume after any manipulation of the dial by their passenger, despite the volume level actually being changed or not. This is caused by a serious distrust of others and their ability to decide the best volume level for their sound system and chosen track.

John's got volume cynicism so bad he adjusts the volume up by 1 every time i choose a song.

Volume Gnomes

The invisible creatures who sneak into your empty, locked car and crank up the volume on the stereo so that it blares at 120 decibels when you return to the car and turn on the ignition. Some people mistakenly believe this phenomenon is due to the periodic cranking up of the stereo that takes place during a long drive, when in actuality it's due to the Volume Gnomes.

I think I'm going deaf. When I turned on my car, my Led Zeppelin CDwas playing at full blast. Volume Gnomes must've snuck in and cranked it up.
