Multi-Messaging

When you are messaging from more than one device at the same time.

James: Why are some of your messages coming through your phone and some are coming through Facebook?

Val: Because I have both my Mac and my iPhone in front of me. I'm multi-messaging!

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.
