I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'of us' is the definition.

(Other definitions for our that I've seen before include "Belonging to us" , "'-- House' (Madness song)" , "''Now is the winter of ... discontent'' (Richard III)" , "group possession?" , "Relating to us" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
