What about butter bread? And dippy eggs? And sock feet?
These Yorkisms seem to stem from yet another chance to drop a word or a syllable. Not “feet with socks” or “bread with butter” for us. No, why not just reverse it and save?
“Dippy eggs” would be slightly different, but since it’s basically an over-easy egg, it’s “egg with dip” and you should definitely dip the toast in the runny yolk!
As far as butter bread, I read that it’s from the Penna Dutch butterbrot, which follows the German language’s habit of attaching an adjective right in front of a noun to make a single word.
By the way, as a side note? Don’t do a Google search for “sock feet.” I got a LOT of frightening foot fetish sites and nothing relating to the local phrase. 
My name is Joan and I'm a lifelong Yorker. Throughout high school and college, I swore I was getting out of here as soon as possible. Now, a few years later, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be. I love my town. And, as a local editor, I hear every day how much you love your towns, too. So please, connect with me and let's share what makes life in York County great. I'm here to help you enjoy this place as much as I do!
