You can filter those words on URLs using "url_regex" ACLs. However that's 
pretty useless (although frequently attempted).

Since Squid cares little about the object's body (the real content) of an 
object you would need either an ICAP-capable content filter and the ICAP 
patch for Squid. Or you use another redirecting/filtering proxy in a 
chain. SquidGuard seems to be a choice for many.

Conclusion #1: Squid IMHO currently doesn't contain much in regard to 
content filtering.

Conclusion #2: If you are serious about filtering consider throwing money 
at commercial content filters and use them in a chain.
