parallel message

Another message individuals express by means of the tonality, volume, pitch, or pacing they use while expressing the main message. It can support, compliment, refute, deny, or even contradict the main message.

When the girl said, "You're welcome" in a tone which said, "You're not fucking welcomed you fucking idiot," I knew something was up. To understand parallel messages say any word in the opposite intonation of what it means. Say "beautiful" while making a face of disgust. Say "ugly" as if you were saying "beautiful."

message pump

A piece of code that attends a message queue, processing each message in turn.

Message pumps are a staple of GUI programming, since messages are used to receive input.

The program abandoned the message pump and Windows eventually marked the window as not responding.
