Bubugao means a poor quality fake product and usually refers to branded clothing.

Mis-spelt brand names are often a comical give-away to spotting a 'bubugao' product.

e.g. Kalvin Cleiin or Dulce & Gobbana

The word Bubugao derives from the notorious Chinese market which is well known for it's production of fake branded goods.

Legend has it, the market was burnt to the ground but rose like a pheonix from the flames, to continue trading in counterfeit once more.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
