I believe you are referring to touche (the e has an right-slanted accent on it). It is a french word originally used in fencing. When landing a major hit the epeeist would say "touche" as in "gotcha".
In general usage it is used to indicate that the other person has scored a hit or made a good point that trumps other points on the table.

In fencing, touché (French: touched) is used as an acknowledgement of a hit, called out by the fencer who is hit. A referee can call out touche (French: touch) to refer to a touch being called - for example, the French call for "no point" is "pas de touche" (French: lack of touch).
The phrase 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.
The expression probably comes from the first blood duels, relatively common in the eighteenth century: during the duel touching the opponent with the tip of the sword was sufficient to win; when this would happen the loser would acknowledge the defeat yelling "touched" hence ending the fight.

Touche (with an accent mark over the 'e') is an acknowledgement of a successful counterpoint in an argument or discussion.
