Yep, "annoyed" has it right--it's touche, and it means you've made a good point. It comes from French fencing terminology, and it's usually said when someone's foil (tip of sword) actually touches the opponent to score a point. Touche! and I'm too lazy to put the accent over the last e.

It is spelled touché.
"Touché is a French term (literally touched) that is used in fencing to acknowledge a valid hit.
It is also used in conversation/debate to concede a point as true. More commonly it is used sarcastically to indicate that one is unable to argue against another's absurd logic. This use is most often restricted to scripted satirical media such as political cartoons, comic strips and comedy shows."

Touche, a French word used in fencing, actually means "you got me."

What goldwing said. You might use it if there is a sort of sarcastic conversation or repartee going on, and someone comes back with a particularly clever remark. Then the person being addressed would say, "Touche" (accent on e), meaning, "Ah ha, you got me that time."

touche is a french word used in fencing, meaning "your point." So in conversation, it means you've made a point.

It's really spelled 'touche', and it's a French word that means 'touch'. I think it became a challenging word from its use in fencing.
