The "suffering savior" proposal emits a strong odor of folk etymology. See a persuasive dismissal at http://www.wordorigins.org/index.php/forums/viewthread/2330/.

Yes, I am also inclined to believe this is folk etymology, mainly because I can find no citations. Furthermore, I haven't found any evidence of "suffering savior" used as an oath. So I guess we will never know whether succotash suffers or is merely to be suffered.
