Senses 2 and 3 appear similar, except for the use of sarcasm. Since many things can be used sarcastically without that being their default use or meaning, perhaps senses 2 and 3 should be combined/merged. --anon
 
I think touché is the same for Catalan and Spanish. Not sure though, I've asked some Catalan friends and they say it is, so I filled the gap. --anon2

Rfd-redundant: ''An acknowledgement of the success, appropriateness or superiority of an argument, sometimes used sarcastically to mock one's opponent's absurd logic'' = ''Used in a conversation or debate to concede a point as true, often in response to a successful counter of one's own logic.'' An anonymous user on [[Talk:touché|the talk page]] suggests that these senses be merged. The difference seems to be that one is used against oneself and the other is not. Also, one mentions sarcasm while the other does not. These two senses don't seem to be very distinct. &mdash;'''[[User:Internoob|Internoob]]''' ([[User talk:Internoob|Disc]]•[[Special:Contributions/Internoob|Cont]]) 03:09, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 
 
They are, in my opinion, very distinct. One touche is sarcastic/mocking, and is also said during an argument to acknowledge superiority of an argument. Another is completely different; it's the acknowledgment that your opponent has won the discussion that is at hand. I find it completely unnecessary to merge these two definitions.

Taken from below, this was a duplicate section. I'd have removed it outright if people hadn't voted already. -- [[User:Liliana-60|Liliana]] [[User talk:Liliana-60|•]] 19:55, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
 
 
No way - keep it you Philistines!!! I've used it in this sense many times
 
:But is it the same as the previous sense? If it is and we delete it, we'll still cover your usage with definition #2. --[[User:Mglovesfun|Mglovesfun]] ([[User talk:Mglovesfun|talk]]) 16:41, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
