A "dolphin tail" may mean the same thing as a "whale tail". This is a pop-culture term referring to the waistband of a thong or g-string when visible above the waistline of low-rise jeans, slacks, skirts, or shorts. It's shape resembles a whale's tail. As a fashion statement, it is considered passe. During it's height of popularity, the state of Louisiana made laws against it as indecent exposure with violators liable to be fined.

The tail is what a dolphin uses to move, and the fins are used to steer.

A dolphin's tail (also known as it's fluke) helps it push through the water. It acts as a sort of leg, using powerful up-and-down movements to push the dolphin through the water.
