Once again, it might not necessary be an American English
idiom. You may hear it in other varieties of the English language around the
globe.
But my question is: DO YOU KNOW WHAT PIE IN THE SKY
MEAN?

EXAMPLES:
Don’t
believe those pie-in-the-sky
advertisements you see on TV selling large plots of land for pennies. They are
too good to be true.

WHAT DOES PIE IN
THE SKY MEAN?
ANSWER: Something that is unrealistic or that can’t be
achieved.
Are you able to write one sentence with pie in the
sky?
