Its used in arguments. When you kno that the other person said something good/ had a good comeback to what you said you could say TOUCHE.

Its pronounced "too-shay," usually written with an accent over the "e". My guess is that it means touched, when you touch the opponent with your blunt sword (epee). You then gain a point. But there seems to be other interpretations. "Re-trie" and "I surrender" are too complicated for me.

literally touché means touched in French-
it is used for when someone has a good comeback with great timing or in sword fighting that your opponent touches you with their sword (epeé)

I retrie, or I surrender, it is basically a statement of defect...or in conversation a way to verbally aqueisce.
