Well the English definition of the word Squid is a short humorous piece that acts as a filler in a newspaper. But In Harry Potter a Squib is a non-magical person who is born to at least one magical parent. Squibs are, in essence, 'Wizard-born Muggles.' They are rare and are looked upon with some degree of disdain by some witches and wizards, particularly pure-bloods.

RE:

Harry Potter: What is a squib?

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Ms.Figg says that she is a squib and I'm wondering what is a squib?

A squib is someone who totally comes from magical descent( so a full witch/ wizard) but for some reason cannot perform any magical spells. This is probably why ms. Figg lives with Muggles. Squibs are usually looked down upon in the wizarding community.

A Squib is a non-magical person who is born to at least one magical parent.[1] Squibs are, in essence, 'Wizard-born Muggles.' They are rare and are looked upon with some degree of disdain by some witches and wizards, particularly pure-bloods. J. K. Rowling has stated that Muggle-born witches and wizards are descended from Squibs who married Muggles; the magical gene resurfaces after many generations unexpectedly.

Along with contrasting Squibs with Muggle-borns, they should also be contrasted with the Muggle parents of Muggle-born witches and wizards. Muggle parents are simply Muggles who just happen to know about the magical world, but, seeing as they were not born to magical parents, they are not Squibs.

Squib is someone who is born in a wizarding family (which means both parents and possibly ancestors were wizards and witches) but has no magical powers. Filtch is also a squib, and Neville reveals his Grandma thought that he was a squib because he showed no extraordinary talent until (I think) he was 8!

A squib is someone born to wizard parents but have no magic themselves (the opposite of a muggleborn)

someone born of wizard parents but who has no magic in them
