Definition
同行是冤家
Literally means:
people of the same trade are enemies
Actually means:
two of trade can never agree
In the past, it means that people of the same trade were jealous of each other due to interest conflicts, and thus become hostile to each other.
Now such hostility has been somewhat eased, but is still exists. Derogatry.
旧时指从事同一行业的人因为利害冲突，互相嫉恨，彼此成了仇家。
现今这种情况虽然有贬义色彩。
Example
Used as a minor sentence, or as object or attributive. It can have other words in between. (作小句、宾语、定语，中间可插入别的词语)
