Deeplinking messages

You can now deeplink with Message Wall posts

Assume, purely for the sake of the argument of course, I'm an idiot who has no idea what that means.

Deeplinking is simply a direct link to a specific post, not just the general parent page it's on. The link has a more complex (some might call it confusing) structure, but it does take you directly to the bit of content you want.

Well, depending on how the page is structured deeplinking can open a normally inaccessible separate page version of a post/reply or just jump to the post/reply in the original context, so just saying "deeplinking" without details is still kind of ambiguous.

For example, if a page is constructed of subpages transcluded together, but those subpages are normally not accessible unless the deeplink has some kind of key to show it, you can just see the subpage with a deeplink. However most deeplinks would just be an anchor that scrolls you to where the subpage is rendered in the main page.
