Hmmm. Perhaps this is part of the cause of misunderstandings between people. Different useage of the same word.

I have always known touche' to be used in its fencing context, to acknowledge a direct hit. When I say it to someone, I generally mean "Ouch, that hurt because it's got some truth to it." Now I'm wondering what other people think I mean. Not to mention what other people mean when they say it to me. :)

Oh well, semantics can be fun sometimes. But this time I'm just sad at it all.
