Empty Vase 

AKA a "flower vase"
A Chinese slang term which often appears in web novels and dramas. An "empty vase" or a "flower vase" is a beautiful person (of either gender) who has no other substance, purpose, or intelligence outside of their appearance (i.e. they have a beautiful outer appearance, but are hollow and empty inside).

Like a vase, they may be chosen to decorate a person's home or life, but can be largely neglected or overlooked, so the term is usually applied to low-maintenance people.

The term is considered a negative insult, and is somewhat similar to the Western concept of a "skin-deep" beauty or a "trophy wife".
"He couldn't believe the ignorance coming out of the beautiful girl's mouth and wrote her off as an empty vase."
"She had been hurt by her past relationship, so this time she decided to choose an empty vase and try her hand at being a sugar momma to a handsome, shallow, boytoy."

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.
