"But a person can score a hit when their intent is far more benign."
They can, but to me, when the phrase touche is used, its intent is then bitchy.
I remember the "hows it working out for you" comment, and I saw it as humour, nothing more.. so I woulnd;t have thought of the phrase touche to be used in that instance..
I can see touche being used in a humurous context, in the same way I ahve used the phrase "ooh you bitch" in a humorous, mickey taking way. But that would be between friends who understood each others intent, not in this sort of context.
