If by whales you meant killer whales specifically people do say that. They also generally know that dolphins are whales, some people just so excited to correct others they don't think any further.

Dolphins are whales with teeth, a distinction that makes them just slightly not whales

Sperm whales? Beaked whales? Also several river dolphins!
