US Military term (ca. 1960s-1990s) used by "line" types (fleet, aviation crew & flightline, special forces, infantry) to refer with contempt to HQ and staff (non-operations) personnel, especially bureaucratic types who push petty regulations as a way to harrass others. Also used as mildly derisive term by aviation types to refer to crewmembers temporarily removed from flying and assigned "desk" (non-flying) duties for administrative or disciplinary purposes.

Someone whose primary means of employment involves a desk.
This can be anything from someone who is just above cubicles to a receptionist to a glorified receptionist.
This person is usually ridiculous on their own accord.
Desk jockeys are often found in the tourism industry.
The twins got jobs as desk jockeys at an RV rental place, so they explain rental contracts in both of Canada's national languages.

One whom has a job that involves more than desk/office work. However; proceeds to sit @ desk and/or office. They tend to brag how easy work is. The fact is others are and/or have worked hard and the jockeys choose not to...
To day a desk jockey walked in to the realm and stated this is so easy . Then proceeded to sit back down until nonessential b.s. needed to be accomplished.
