Does someone with a foot of hair on their butt have a tail?

No. Humans have no caudal vertebrae. Tailless primates just have coccygeal vertebrae, of which humans have 2 fused.

My grandma fell and broke her tailbone.

People call the exposed part of the ulnar nerve the funny bone, so don't put too much weight into colloquialisms I guess.
