A piecrust promise is a promise you make, but you never fulfill it. The piecrust part is like saying you just have the crust of a pie, not the yummy filling. This could be called an empty promise.

When a person promises to do something so grandiose, that it is quite clearly obvious that they will not be able to follow through with said promise.
A grandiose promise that won't be fulfilled and is made in an effort to show off.

*Maxamillion is running for class president of New Voices Elementary and is currently speaking at his school's gymnasium debate against his rival Shillary*
Maxamillion : "If you vote for me as your class president, I will build a great playground-- and nobody builds playgrounds better than me, believe me --and I'll build it very inexpensively. I will build a great, great playground , and I will make the New Voices Elementary pay for that playground! Mark my words."
Random Student: "I've never seen you build a playground! How can you build a playground? You're only 7 years old! That sounds like a Trump Promise if I've ever heard one. You just want use to vote for you!"
*Other students yell out "Yeah!"*

One who is excessively Evangelical Christian, even to the point of attending a large conference where 50,000 other men praise God, and are brought to tears by the speakers who point out what bad fathers that all of these men are. While most men who attend these conferences claim to achieve a spiritual "high" and recommit their lives to Jesus, according to statistics, most of these men actually return to their hotel rooms and order pornography.
My Dad came back from a Promise Keeper conference claiming to be a different man, but within a few days he was back to his old ways of ignoring his kids and not having sex with his wife.
