I have heard of ' I stand corrected', now I discovered 'I sit corrected',

pronouncing "pipe" as "peep" instead of ryming with "ripe".  The only thing
I can think of is that Hércule Poirot, played by Peter Ustinov, might have
pronounced it that way, denoting a Belgian struggling to speak English, and
pronouncing it badly.
