It can be used in different ways.

It is difficult to give a specific definition, however the examples will illustrate the words ‘definition’.

The word is meant to be taken lightheartedly (context depending).
For example if I had just smoked a joint and walk into a room full of people and I feel like everyone is looking at me, I would say ‘I’m rigging out’

Or a similar example would be if there a member of the public on the bus eating beans out of a can with their hands, I would think to myself ‘that is a rig fest (festival) over there’ , or ‘that is a riggy thing to see’.

The gentleman I just had a passive conversation with (who spoke about deeply personal things without the conversation being led there) was, ‘a rig man’.

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
