Tips

register
Sports-media coinage. 处子 literally 'virgin / unmarried young person' + (loanword from English 'show'). Very common in football and basketball reporting; rarely heard in formal writing or everyday speech.
memory
Think 'virgin show' - the first time stepping onto the stage. The here is a phonetic borrowing from English 'show', not the older meaning 'elegant.'
