How would you explain the meaning of "tu chez" to an eight year old? She is curious after seeing the Underdog preview.

In English we would typically say "You got me!" or "Good one!"
The French word "touché" literally means "touched." It's what fencers (sword fighters) say to acknowledge that they've been touched by their opponent's sword. In other words, the opponent has scored a point.
(Of course nowadays in Olympic fencing they have electrical systems to signal the legal touches, but "touché" harks back to when fencing was a real gentlemen's sport.)

In fencing, touché (French: touched, Pronounced Too-shay) is used as an acknowledgement of a hit, called out by the fencer who is hit. A referee can call out touché to refer to a touch being called - for example, the French call for "no point" is "pas de touché" (English: no touch). The word touché is often used in "popular culture" and general conversation—for example, in an argument or debate. If one person presents an argument and another delivers a clever or apt response, the first person may respond with "touché" as a way of acknowledging a good response.

It is actually touché. Its French for "to touch." Its a fencing term. A fencer will call out the term to acknowledge a hit. The way we commonly hear it is if one person presents an argument and another delivers a clever or apt response, the first person may respond with "touché" as a way of acknowledging a good response.

It is like a compliment. If you were making fun of somebody and they made fun of you better, you would say "touche". Pronounced "to-shay"

I think you mean "touche," which basically means "good answer."
