"Giddy up" is what you say to a horse to make it get moving when you are riding.

"Touche" is a fencing term. It is French.

"In fencing, a touch of a sword on the opponent's body is worth a point. Thus, touché has come to mean a score or a point, often used figuratively in verbal fencing and spoken by the person against whom the point was scored."

giddy up is a version of get up and go, means move it on out. Typical usage is in old western movies, when it was a verbal signal to the horse to get it to start walking, or running.

I *think* the other word you are trying to describe would be touche', and the usage in English means *got* you in verbal sparring, and sometimes people use the term when someone "got" them. Comes from the sport of fencing.

Hope this helped

giddy up - what you say to a horse to get it moving.

touche is a fencing term thats french. but we use it generally when someone makes a comment that quickly counters the one made before like when people are saying mean things about each other, the first person can say touche when they don't have anything else to say coz the response was very good

Giddy up is a term used when you want to make your horse go faster. It's usually used by kids when riding ponies. It could be a variant on "Get up" which is used by people when herding cattle and other livestock on horses.

And I think you mean Touché...It basically means "Ah, you got me".

For a large number of endings the s is not pronounced , unless ,as you said, there is a liaison with a vowel. The s at the end of "plus"(+) is pronounced in Mathematics, but not in a comparative or a superlative sentence like "Elle est plus jolie" or "Elle est la plus jolie", or when it means "no longer" as in "Il n'est plus ici". Words of foreign origins may or may not have the s sounded depending on their original source. "Hermes" is the name of a Greek god adopted for commercial purposes and it is the original pronunciation of the word. Athos , Porthos and Aramis in "Les Trois Mousquetaires" by Dumas all have the s pronounced for similar reasons, but Dumas has not. Locations, surnames or given names vary. You do not sound the s at the end of Paris but you do at the end of Francis. PS. Humus is a Latin word Autobus is derived from the English language. If you look at the etymology of words where the s is pronounced you will find they have often been lifted as they were from Latin or Greek, or they have been adopted from other languages.
