McGregor crying You´ll do none

[Johnyxxx]

Hello,

Does McGregor say "you´ll do none" (instead of "You´ll do nothing") in this video? If so, is it used commonly in Irish? Or is it colloquial?

Thank you very much.

He shouts "You'll do nothing" and "None of yous'll do nothing". He has a very strong Irish accent and his pronunciation of "nothing" makes both the "th" and the final "g" practically vanish.

He says "you'll do nothing."
He means you won't be able to do anything.
It is common in English; you might hear "you'll do nothing of the sort/kind."

After you'll do nothing, he says not one of yous'll do nothing.

Yous is used as a plural by some Irish speakers, and in some regions in Britain. He's a colourful and expressive speaker.

Yes. In different parts of the US, people say youse, yiz, you all, and y'all.

None is grammatical, but because there is no plural of you​, people improvise.

Yes, the talking segment does seem to be at an end.

Also yins around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I'd say they are not improvised but grammatically acceptable in the dialects in which they're used. Learners might want to be able to recognize them if they plan to travel in a region where they're used but they shouldn't use them themselves.

Probably wishful thinking on his part. ;-)
