En Garde is the phrase for Lay On.
Touché is the phrase for Good Strike.
En Garde does feel great, that shot of adrenaline.
Touché feels good too, though you are admitting your opponent won that round.
You should try fencing! It is fun and it is a good workout!
Being a woman is not a disadvantage.
It sucks. It’s just a bunch of weirdos and Russians who love cheating. They make you wear this stupid ass straight jacket and you can’t see out of the helmet (which also smells). Also all you can do is poke. It’s fuckin dumb as shit.
I would say it feels mixed to go “en garde” because it means you’re directing the bout so you have a lot of power but you’re also about to be in over your head (if you’re me). I have never once said “touché” in a fencing context. The rakish chuckle authorization is good though
Maybe you were, and were lucky to avoid the plague or any other number of calamities, only to succumb to sepsis and infection resulting from a scratch just toying with some noob with an inferior blade. Oh the irony
My fav job I got to control an aviation radio and say shit like "November one one seven five, this is Weiser, the active runway is zero nine, right hand traffic, over" and it felt amazing

If you're a good fencer, you should also be saying touché to acknowledge getting touched by the opponent's weapon.
