Pie is a delicious dessert! And there are so many different flavors, like cherry, lemon, banana cream! But what could the idiom “pie in the sky” mean?
Anna: Pedro is finally moving to Hollywood to follow his acting dream.
Andrew: He’s been talking about that for years. His plans are just pie in the sky.
Anna: His YouTube channel has over four million subscribers!
Andrew: Four million? Hmm. -
Anything “pie in the sky” could be great but probably won’t happen. As an adjective, “pie in the sky" describes dreams, goals, or plans that are unlikely to become reality.
