Based on the "steaming cup" office tool used in a Budweiser commercial to give colleagues and leadership the impression that you're still working because there is a hot, steaming cup of coffee at your desk. A term used for someone who is never seen at his/her desk, but has neither travel nor off-site vendor/customer visits on his/her list of duties. Also someone who leaves on his/her light, computer or takes an additional step and places an "auxiliary" set of keys, sunglasses, headgear or outerwear in his/her office to give one the impression that he/she is still at work, but at large. This term can also be used from someone who has frequent and/or lengthy unaccountable minutes/hours away from his/her desk. This person does not usually have much to do and many times this person is a figureghead, for if they WERE busy or essential, their unfinished business would set off alerts from vendors, customers and colleagues looking for answers to questions, information and/or other work-related deliverables.
