Etymology: First use appears c. 1677, an Anglicized form of chagrin, from French chagrin, from Ottoman Turkish صاغری (modern Turkish sağrı). However, the etymology of French chagrin is complex and disputed, and likely of Germanic origin. Whether there was any influence between an existing French word of Germanic origin and a Turkish loan is unclear.

examples: stalag fiction; a stalag novel
After decades in dusty back rooms and closets, the Stalags, a peculiar Hebrew concoction of Nazism, sex and violence, are re-emerging in the public eye. And with them comes a rekindled debate on the cultural representation here of Nazism and the Holocaust, and whether they have been unduly mixed in with a kind of sexual perversion and voyeurism that has permeated even the school curriculum. […] The Stalags were practically the only pornography available in the Israeli society of the early 1960s, which was almost puritanical. […] More provocatively, the movie contends that Stalag pornography was but a popular extension of the writings of K. Tzetnik, the first author to tell the story of Auschwitz in Hebrew and a hero of the mainstream Holocaust literary canon.

Senses:
gloss: Of or relating to the institutions and practices that privilege or value heterosexuality, heterosexual relationships, and traditional gender roles as fundamental and "natural" within society.
pos: adj
examples: Much of the language used when discussing wedding planning is heteronormative, which can alienate homosexual couples.
[T]he new wave of lesbian and gay studies is at the point of having to force a thorough revision within socio-theoretical traditions, of the kind being won by feminism. There are a number of distinct reasons why that engagement has become necessary: […] concepts and themes of social theory that might be pressed to this purpose are in fact useless or worse because they embed a heteronormative understanding of society; […]
The work of critics such as [Jon] Binnie, [Michael] Warner, and [John] D'Emilio implies that to fail to analyze the specific material conditions of reception of gay porno is thus perhaps to remain within a heterosexist framework of analysis. This suggests both that film studies can be heteronormative even when it is analyzing homosexual representations and that close textual analysis is itself structured by heterosexual presumptions and assumptions.
In the public sphere of work, then, women's sexuality will always be seen as problematic as well as omnipresent. In the same way, homosexuality and bisexuality will always be seen as problematic in heteronormative organizations.
Homonationalism needs to be more broadly understood as one dimension of "homonormativity," which Lisa Duggan described over a decade ago as a gay mindset that does not "contest dominant heteronormative assumptions and institutions but upholds and sustains them."
