  1. (literal) same cohort, same boat
  2. (of multiple people) that's in the same situation, therefore that ought to help each other

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Unlike the English expression in the same boat which describes an unpleasant situation in which people may inadvertently find themselves, this phrase does not necessarily have negative connotation.
