Pique means "to prick". There are different kinds.
At the barre they are used, like little quick taps of the tip of the toe with a fully extended and pointed leg. The accent is up, much like pricking someone with a pin. It's not a stab, but a quick tap.
In center they can be used differently. Pique turns, difficult to describe, but you push/slightly jump to an extended leg, to the ball of the foot or pointe, and turn.
Also a pique can be a pique arabesque, same idea as the turn but it goes to an arabesque.
