"Got you" is a sort of point scoring term. I did not mean
anything bad. In a light hearted way (probably realising he
was wrong and you right about the actual issue), he replied
about his mother. One can't argue with a mother!

Put it another way: People "get" people when they make a
good touche. A touche is a remark that is sort of hard to
answer... Here is a google found definition: "touched
[French] In fencing, a touch of a sword on the opponent's
body is worth a point. Thus, touché has come to mean a
score or a point, often used figuratively in verbal fencing
and spoken by the person against whom the point was
scored."
