What does TouchA really mean?

Last night I asked my daughter to give back the flashlight I loaned them some time ago because I figured I could use it when Coco is wanting out at night and this silly dog is afraid of the dark

so she wants to go but changes her mind if the porch light won't come on, which happens sometimes. a couple of nights it will work, then a few it won't

I tried the flashlight and barely a small light. Needs batteries. went to open it to see what kind and it fell apart on me. Well a while back, I said to daughter, "I never seen anyone break as many things as you 2 do!" A tv, camera, several phones, my Ipad they borrowed a couple years ago, and many other things to numerous to mention as they don't seem to take care of anything. So I figure when I tell her the flashlight fell apart, she will say, "Oh, you broke something this time"

So, I have an answer for her. "TouchA"!

and I looked it up cause I have heard this many times and got to wondering, what the concerned does it mean!?? photo of a book i have that you can hide things in. lol

I think the word you mean is touche'. It is an expression used to acknowledge a clever point made by another person in an argument or criticism.

yep. that is how i looked it up as touche and my search corrected me by putting touchA with a wavy line over the A that i have no idea how to copy.

I see that you already have the answer - it's a French word.

i'd not let'em borrow nothin', 's i'm sure they also take no responsibility fer such. 'touche' 'd be a good fittin' fer such i reckon, though i'd not doubt that she/'r him prolly broke't 'n 't t'weren't til ya went to change the batteries that such 'twas found.

that did enter my mind

but i thought would it still light slightly? i try not to let them use anything i hold dear any more and if it is really emergency, like my phone lately, i keep my eye on until they are done.

I never heard of the term. It's really a bad idea to loan out your things and never get them back or get them back broken. My daughter takes care of her things and the things I give her.

yes sometimes the teaching takes well but I think either she didn't learn as she should have or more then likely she covers for him

wish my daughter or her bf would do the replacing. they never have the money it seems. why I stopped lending

My daughter is like that with just about anything. Growing up, she was always harder on her clothes and shoes than her brother was.

Touche is one of those words that has an aha sensation to it.

I had no idea what that meant until I saw that someone realized it was "touche"! Now I understand completely. That's so funny!

@bunnybon7 That's so strange. I know "touche" is French. I don't ever recall seeing the word "toucha" before.
