Your tooshie is your butt.
It’s spelled tou·ché. It’s French, and isused to acknowledge a hit in fencing or the success or appropriateness of an argument, an accusation, or a witty point.
toucher is french for “to touch”
Basically to acknowledge a “hit or touch” in a argument or fight.
Same thing as saying, good point, granted, nice hit, great shot, etc., depending on the context.

It’s typically used in the context of a conversation between two or more participants, acknowledging the acceptance of one’s reply, usually from one person to another person who is replying to said person.
Example:
Person 1: Hey man, did you hear the author of Catcher in the Rye passed away?
Person 2: More like Catcher in the Die.
Person 1: Touche. (Acknowledgment).
In Chinese it means “pig feces”.
Touche’ It means right on.
I am so happy I am not the only one to get these kinds of things mixed up in my head. It reminds me when I argued with my 3rd grade teacher about the spelling of a word. I must have spent 10 minuets trying to convince her that it was spelt necked.
@Trillian Yes, And it is important to note that it is often uttered by a noble opponent in fencing or argument.
It means “great point” or “clever.”
Too shay or not too shay? That is the question.
It’s not really just for a great point or a witty remark. It’s one that strikes you—touches you like the point of the opponent’s fencing foil. You’re acknowledging that you have taken a hit. It says “You got me with that one.” “You stung me.” “Ouch.”
I can’t agree with @baxter‘s example; that doesn’t cost Person 1 anything. It’s just applause. When somebody makes a snappy comeback of the kind that sitcoms seem to depend on for laughs, the person who just got nailed would be the one to say “touché.”
Don’t forget that if you say it, and you’re a woman, it’s “touchée”.
@tb1570 Yes it does. Hey I’m a Chinese!.
那, @Doctor_D ,请你给我个解释“touche”的意思怎么是猪的大便呀?我不太明白你的意思。
