Yeah, pussy. That's what I thought too. And for me it would be. Seems my definition lacks scope. I looked it up in "Slang and Euphemism" by Richard A. Spears, Signet Reference, 1991:

POONTANG:
   1) copulation with a black woman.
   2) a black woman considered as the source of sexual gratification; the
genitals of a black woman. [both senses, U.S. slang and colloquial late
1800s-pres.]
   3) an act of copulation, either heterosexual or homosexual.
   [all are from French /putain/ "prostitute", U.S. slang, 1900s]

POONTANG. Copulation, esp. with a coloured woman: Can. Supposedly of Chinese origin, there being such variants as "poong tai" and "poong kai". (Whence "poontanger".) Common also among homosexuals for 'sexual relations' (_The Lavender Lexicon_). The nuances 'copulation' and 'sexual relations' prob. derive ex the basic sense 'female pudend'.

Literally, a woman's sexual organ. Figuratively, womanhood in general but in a collective, sexual way. So when Garrison says "poontang," he basically is just saying "women," but he means it in the narrower sense of "sex with women." (That's not necessarily the same as what he means when he THINKS the word, because we now know for sure he's gay; but so far he's only said it when he's trying to sound straight.) In any case, it's a very old term, maybe 1940s or 1950s vintage?? Don't look for it on a spelling test. ;)
