How it's used
Originally a slang term referring to a sex worker taking their first client, the expression has evolved into a common, slightly humorous way to describe anyone doing something for the very first time. It carries a playful or self-deprecating tone when used in non-sexual contexts. Because of its origins, it is best avoided in formal or professional settings.
Examples
It is her first time doing a live stream, she is really doing it for the first time.
Is this your first time traveling? Why are you so nervous like it is your first time?
