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.
