'just fix those broken around you' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'just fix those broken around you' is the wordplay.
'just fix' becomes 'rig' (rigging is a kind of fixing. I am not sure about the 'just' bit.).
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'you' becomes 'u' (commonly used in online communication).
'those' is an anagram of 'hteos'.
'hteos' going around 'u' is 'hteous'.
'rig'+'hteous'='RIGHTEOUS'
