A portmanteau of "touchdown" and "interception." In football, this occurs when a ball is caught in the endzone by an eligible receiver and a defender at the same time. Made possible by inept replacement referees during a Packers/Seahawks game on Monday Night Football.
"Referee #1: Touchdown! Golden Tate caught it in the endzone." "Referee #2: Interception! M.D. Jennings came up with it." "Both Referees: Wait, that's a Touchception! Six points and move the ball to the 20."
