A Tall Tale is a folk tale, usually told about a real person, but exaggerated beyond belief. An example of a Tall Tale would be the story of how The Great Lakes of North America were created by Paul Bunyan as a watering hole for his ox, Babe. Or that the 10,000 lakes of Minnesota were made by their footprints as they wandered blindly in a Blizzard. Or maybe even the time he needed to put out his campfire, and so piled rocks on it, creating Mt. Hood. Those are "Tall Tales".

Examples of tall tales include stories about larger-than-life characters like Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill, who perform exaggerated feats such as carving out the Grand Canyon or using a tornado as a lasso. These tales are often humorous and involve incredible exaggerations or unlikely situations.

You are probably intending on asking about a 'tall tale.' If it is about a tall tail, it might be about meerkats, they have very tall tails when they stick them up in the air. But a tall tale is a story that is so big in its descriptions of events and circumstances that is is hard to believe, sort of like bragging. A tall tale could be something like the story of Paul Bunion and his Ox.
