What does TOUCHE mean in Scrabble?

Said to admit that someone has made a fair, clever or telling point against you.
Touche is borrowed from French, where it is a fencing call meaning touched, shouted when a blade lands a hit. English speakers adopted it as a witty way to concede an argument, with a smile, after a sharp reply. The spelling with an accent is touche with a mark over the final e, but the plain form is common in casual writing and in word games.
