Touché- noun.
An acknowledgement of the success, appropriateness or superiority of an argument or discussion; sometimes used sarcastically to mock one's opponent's absurd logic.
How do you know you're a woman? Have you ever checked? - Touché..

It's actually a fencing term, it means literally 'touch', as in 'you scored a hit' or 'you got me'.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.

See, no. That's the 1st definition on Wiktionary, I used the second. Much more relevant in context.

No, the portion you quoted lacked the explanation of why it meant that, which was the relevance of the primary definition.
The actual meaning is important to properly understanding the idiomatic usage.
Saying that it's an acknowledgement of success when that's obviously not the literal meaning is giving an incomplete explanation if you don't provide the background that justifies the interpretation.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.

We're arguing over the definition of a word?

Because the abuse of vocabulary is a horrible crime against humanity.

Ask Eos.
EDIT: Plus, we're not arguing over the definition. He's arguing that we should trace the roots of words back to their descendants. Which is important etymologically, but none of us are etymologists. As far as I know.
