Fake Fat Muscle
The phenomenon where a person (usually dude) who might appear somewhat athletic or muscular at a cursory glance... but upon closer inspection, you see they have no muscle whatsoever, and instead, have fat that lays in such a way that deceptively makes them look pseudo-muscular. Similar to how "skinny fat" people aren't really skinny, Fake Fat Muscle people aren't really muscular.
There are several proofs to this: 1) the person has no vascularity, or even any actual muscular development, and if they were to flex or strain or lift a weight, they still don't actually look different. Why would they? It's all just fat. There's no muscle there to flex.
2) The person doesn't actually workout. Sometimes they go to the gym, but it's a pretense. Their workout amounts to nothing. They could instead lay on the couch and they would have the same end result appearance. Fake fat muscle types are at most, weekend warriors.
3) Similar to skinny fat and ILS (imaginary lat syndrome) this person is presenting themselves dishonestly, and in keeping with that, they'll often wear either tank tops, muscle tee, or shmedium T-shirts to try and accentuate their fake fat muscles.
These pretenders shrink in the presence of real men, and usually do a subtle scurry out of the gym when the real lifters arrive, so as to not be exposed as frauds by comparison.

I thought that dude had a decent physique until I took a second glance and realized it's all fake fat muscle.

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.
