Necroticism 

1991 album by a legendary English death metal band Carcass. Arguably, their best.

Full album title is "Necroticism — Descanting the Insalubrious", but most don't dare trying to pronounce that, let alone memorize it.
"Descanting" means "talking about something in detail and for a long time", while "insalubrious" is a synonym for "rotten", "sickly" or "putrid".
Newbie: — Hey, I wanna get into death metal a bit, any classics you'd recommend?
Metalhead: — Can't go wrong with Necroticism by Carcass!

necrotism 

1. The practice of earning a specific position or office on the coattails, reputation, or based on the fondess for a dead relative.
2. Being favored in some way due to a familial relationship to a beloved person who is now deceased.
3. The practice of "keeping" a deceased relative "alive" officially for financial or professional gain and benefit.
1. After Rep. Sonny Bono died, it was no surprise he was followed in office by his wife Mary Bono. Political necrotism is a tried and true way for the people to feel like they've kept a bit of the person they've lost in office.

2. Jack's Dad is such a legend around here, they jumped at the chance to send him up the ladder. Never mind that the old coot is dead, Jack will be CEO one day thanks to the blatant necrotism.

Neuroticism 

But you said (in a discussion with your daughter) that being low in neuroticism makes narcissists worse.
Hym “So how does that not apply to psychopathology? If neuroticism is the marker for psychopathology, how does low neuroticism not make the psychopath worse (thereby making them ‘fearless’ in your own words)?”

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.
