A hollow floor. The floor is level and normal on surface (outside) but hollow/weak inside due to old age/decayed/rotten. What’s the word for that? What can we say without saying the floor is hollow?
English help please.
Decayed works for me, but maybe there’s something better here

I think this works.
And I’m a fan of the free dictionary too 
They were the first to add pronunciation tracks free of charge. Due to that I still use it.
That’s what I would use, since you referred to deteriorating wood. And the examples in The Free Dictionary mention that in particular.

This could work but I need the idea of hollowness beneath the surface too.
Maybe there aren’t single words for every complex idea. Lol.

Dry rotted is a term that may work well for people who have been exposed to wood like that.

Life imitating art. Here’s comedian Jim Gaffigan promoting (inter alias) bacon-scented deodorant.
I can think of a lot worse things to smell like.
There really are worse scents. Back in the early 1970’s there was an aftershave called Brut. My brother came back from college wearing it, thought it was great. The funny thing about it was that it really, really, made yellow jackets angry. Go anywhere near a yellow jacket nest and 3 or 4 would come after you. He threw it away after getting stung several times. LOL!
There is probably nothing funnier to a 12 year old than seeing your 20 year old brother running like a madman with a swarm of insects on his tail.

Lol, dating myself but do remember when Brut was all that, kind of like the Axe body spray of the 90’s or 2000’s maybe?

Good for you! There was a line at my polling place today, which was a first. A line of four people, but still.

In my brothers defense, at least he wasn’t wearing Hai Karate.
If that ad wasn’t stupid enough, how about this one.
