Driving a desk

Pejorative term for administrative work done by a military officer from the comfort and safety of headquarters, rather than out in the field where the real danger lies.

To say that Ritter was amazed didn't begin to explain matters. This guy was supposed to be a professional military officer. The taking of human life was part of his job description. Of course, Ritter told himself, Cutter'd spent most of his career driving a desk in the Pentagon - he probably hadn't seen much blood since he learned how to shave.

drive thru

The short version of saying, "I'm too lazy to get out of my car."

Generally used large families, who order more than $50 worth of food, and then expect it to be ready in twenty seconds, because they believe the machines are magical and will cook faster because they used the drive thru.

Drive By Engineering

Engineering accomplished, usually incorrectly, by walking in the vicinity of a project, and attempting to point out how it could be better or how it is wrong.
The drive by engineer is usually in a position of authority and has failed to consider all of the relevant facts before making his or her incorrect claims. The victim of the drive by engineering is then forced to spend several hours justifying the design to the superior.

"Did you hear that Bob was a victim of Dave's drive by engineering?"
