Definition:
In Old School RuneScape (OSRS) PvP slang, to rhys or be rhysing is to blunder catastrophically during player-versus-player combat, especially by dying at a crucial moment despite having sufficient food or resources to survive. The act often results in severe disappointment for teammates and is marked by avoidable failure under pressure.

Derived from the name "Rhys," likely referencing a notorious player or archetype known for such mishaps.

cockney rhyming slang 

Cockney rhyming slang is a form of English slang which originated in the East End of London. Many of its expressions have passed into common language, and the creation of new ones is no longer restricted to Cockneys.
Rhyming slang developed as a way of obscuring the meaning of sentences to those who did not understand the slang, though it remains a matter of speculation whether this was a linguistic accident, or whether it was developed intentionally to assist criminals or to maintain a particular community.
Rhyming slang works by replacing the word to be obscured with the first word of a phrase that rhymes with that word. For instance, "face" would be replaced by "boat", because face rhymes with "boat race". Similarly "feet" becomes "plates" ("plates of meat"), and "money" is "bread" (a very common usage, from "bread and honey"). Sometimes the full phrase is used, for example "Currant Bun" to mean "The Sun" (often referring to the British Tabloid Newspaper of that name). There is no hard and fast rule for this, and you just have to know whether a particular expression is always shortened, never shortened, or can be used either way.

n. inf. Used when one cybers one's significant other without actually meaning to in the first place. And then gets carried away.

So, basically, you end up... doing stuff... to them and then feeling awkward and weird about it later.

"Lol emotional hax."
