parallel isn't a case of direction, it just means two lines that will never bisect (check out the "L"s in parallel).
There is the 49th degree North parallel but it is really just a line of latitude.
also, just for clarification, horizontal is going across (just think of the horizon) and vertical is going up.

Parallel lines are lines that, if extended, would never intersect with eachother. This means that they are going in the same direction, eg. | |, but not | \. Horizontal means that that are going across, eg. ___________________, not |. An example of a lines that are parallel and horizontal: _____________________________________ _____________________________________
when it is a parallel line across the x and y axis
It means two things going side by side in the same direction. ============ Those lines are parallel
parallel lines are used in the white house. The columns holding it up are parallel lines and the floor and the roof of a room are parallel planes as long as they are the same shape
2 because the top and bottom are going the same direction. While the line in the middle is going diagnally

You need an Acro Bike. You can ride across the beams, but when they are parallel like this: =, press B + Up or Down at the same time, depending on which way you're going.
A square is a parallel shape because it's sides are across from each other. Parallel means across.
The same supply voltage is across all parallel loads.
There is no single picture of where the 36th parallel is. The 36th parallel is an imaginary line across the earth.
Depends. What did you want to measure? If it's voltage drop across the incandescent element, then you had better hook up your infinite resistance voltmeter in parallel with the lamp.

The voltage across a battery in a parallel circuit is equal to the voltage across each bulb because Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the signed sum of the voltages going around a series circuit adds up to zero. Each section of the parallel circuit, i.e. the battery and one bulb, constitutes a series circuit. By KVL, the voltage across the battery must be equal and opposite to the voltage across the bulb. Another way of thinking about this is to consider that the conductors joining the battery and bulbs effectively have zero ohms resistance. By Ohm's law, this means the voltage across the conductor is zero, which means the voltage across the bulb must be equal to the voltage across the battery and, of course, the same applies for all of the bulbs.
In parallel.
The voltages appearing across each branch of a parallel circuit will be equal to the supply voltage.
Skew lines are not parallel. Parallel lines are across from each other in some way and are exactly parallel.
