1927 Glasgow Herald 7 Mar. 6 In a magazine story... ‘It's Us-ness that makes love,’ the heroine of the tale is made to say to the hero, ‘it's being two of you together against the world.’

1958 Listener 27 Nov. 874/1 One of the dangers of ‘The Method’ is that it tends to reduce everything to us-ness, if I may so put it.

1966 P. J. Kavanagh Perfect Stranger vii. 77 There was a pleasant feeling of ‘us-ness’ in the unit. Were the prisoners ‘us’ or had they comfortably become ‘them’?

1976 Christian 3 167 This has the effect of buttressing and reinforcing the me-ness of me (insistently individual) as part of the intensified us-ness of us (compellingly corporate).
