Before attacking the explanation of the three proposed meanings, which apparently come to us from the beginning of the XNUMXth century, it should be noted that this expression has had other meanings not used today such as "to be subjected to an energetic cleansing treatment or" to be subjected to anti-venereal treatment ".
Passer, it is sometimes to undergo an unpleasant ordeal such as "passing the bac" for a dunce, or "passing from life to death" For Henri IV or Marat. But more precisely, spend there, since Molière, it is either to undergo something painful, like "the last outrages", or outright to die.
For the second meaning, born at the same time, we will now switch to slang while keeping the painful side of spend there : a mobster who is caught in the act, therefore who finds himself in a very bad situation, is just as "cooked" as the missionary who took a position in the cannibal's pot.
More trivial and just as slang, finally, what is a saucepan (or a sauté pan) for if not to sauté food like potatoes, for example?
However, a woman who undergoes or who participates in a sexual act, does she not "jump"?
Here is a very pretty metaphor which is enough to make the link with the last meaning.

Quite like a dirty business in which someone has been involved, that some have not forgotten and are responsible for calling back at the right time to discredit the person when they become embarrassing.
This expression is widely used in politics. And there you are, suddenly, dragging behind you a "saucepan" that has suddenly become very embarrassing and whose noise is likely to compromise your chances of being elected. The metaphor is therefore very meaningful. This expression is attested in 1902.
