in the same boat ...


... is an expression that means: in the same situation. This expression comes from the idea that if one person makes a hole in a boat, everyone will sink.

for example: we're in the same boat. -means- if one gets hurt, we all get hurt.

We're all in the same boat on Greek default. -means- If Greece defaults on its debt, the whole world economy will go down.
