For parents

"knob jockey" means: A promiscuous straight woman.. This is a fairly neutral word with no inherent risk attached. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than something dangerous. If your child uses it, context will usually make the meaning clear.

For ESL learners

"knob jockey" means: A promiscuous straight woman.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

A promiscuous man; a player.

You could call Julien a poof, a fag, a shirt-lifter or a knob jockey, and he didn't mind but, for some reason he hated to be likened to a herbaceous plant of the genus Viola. 'You pansy,' said Dusty.
Cluster: sex

Why is this section here?

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
