I’m sorry but I’m born and bred in the US and would have read this the same way.

  Most people use it to mean "We are headed in the same direction."

    Yes but “parellel thinking” is actually a term of art. It generally means that we want to get to the same place but have different ideas on how to get there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_thinking https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_thinking

      > It generally means that we want to get to the same place but have different ideas on how to get there. Is it? The description on that page is just about having multiple conversations at once, not having them all start in the same place. Also, starting in one place and going different directions is basically the opposite of parallel lines, so this makes zero sense as a justification of the punchline.
