Interesting Harry.
My Mom's family is Pennsylvania Dutch and i remember hearing two phrases that fit the examples you gave:
"Finger from Butter!" - comment on someone rude enough to use their finger to scoop up butter at the dinner table. Could just be poor English though.
The next is harder to explain away as poor English usage:
"Throw the cow over the fence some hay."
