How it's used
This idiom describes a deep, natural affinity between people who share the same values or interests. It carries a slightly more literary or formal weight than casual slang, so it is often used when describing a long-term friendship or a strong connection between two people. While it implies a positive bond, it is not used to describe romantic attraction specifically.
Examples
The two of them are really two of a kind, they have so much fun playing together.
