To be in the same situation as somebody else. For example, workers might complain "We're all in the same boat!" when their company cuts benefits. In this context, the meaning changes slightly to "we are all facing the same situation or circumstance, without much hope to do anything about it."
As another example, "chronic pain" conditions often leave people suffering, feeling powerless and helpless. When two or more people with a similar problem or similar type of pain might say, "We're both in the same boat, huh?" This signifies a similarity, an invisible "likeness" that exists in their lives, even when the persons are strangers. "With your Arthritis and my Back pain, we're in the same boat, having daily pain, needing medication, and not being able to get around very much." However, most people do not qualify or add explanations to the "same boat" reference; the points of similarity are only implied (not said).
One caution about idioms is, in fact, the unsaid portion. Although the idiom signals some type of similarity (at least in the person's mind who uses the idiom), that person's meaning may differ strongly from the other person's point of view. For example, two men have died each leaving a wife (widow). The widows happen to meet, say at a doctor's office waiting room or at the hairdresser's. The widows begin talking, and quickly start sharing pieces of their lives. One widow is in her late 50s and still has minor children at home. The other widow has no children, and the house she and her husband bought will be going into foreclosure. One widow's spouse had life insurance; the other widow's spouse had none so she fears how she will pay the bills. Each of their situations is so different. The only real similarity is-- each woman's husband died. Without knowing these details, one or both of the women could be offended to hear, "Well, I guess we're in the same boat." Whether the specifics are said or are left unspoken, no one can ever assume that the "same boat" defines the true situation of either party. For this reason, people should think twice about using common idioms unless they really know the other person's situation.
It means everyone has to deal with the same situation.
To use the expression "we're all in the same boat" means that we share whatever the challenge or threat that is being talked about. One student says "I'm having a lot of trouble with this new topic in math class." Someone says "We're all in the same boat!" and everyone else agrees.
