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.

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."

Ryan’s 6 months were long up. He owed big money to the local residing MC, and too much time had passed.
Jackson was the newest prospect in the Storm Riders, and these men wanted to see if the new kid had what it took to ride with them. John, the Enforcer, stepped up to Jackson for some final words of advice.
“Here you go, kid. .357 Sig P226, with 2 mags on the side. You’ll have enough to wipe out the lying fucker and collect that shiny new bike he keeps hidden in that shithole garage of his. He’s been holding out on us, and we want our money back. Do it right, and we’ll call you brother next time we see you. You, son- today you’ve got a chance to prove yourself to our crew. And you’re gonna do it by sending a message.”
