Default Vortex Ring State

In laymen's terms, could someone explain what the "vortex ring state" (VRS)
is in terms of a rotary-winged aircraft? One explication I'm looking for is
in terms of the V-22 Osprey....is VRS, with respect to the V-22 Osprey,
where the wake by one rotor is opposite of the other rotor, causing a
catastrophe in some cases?
