And deserving it.

In fencing, touché is used as an acknowledgments 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".

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.

Or, I can take this in a whole new direction.
