They're squid codes - same style as http, they usually refer to the presence
or absence of a file in the cache, e.g. a miss is a file that wasn't in the
cache and had to be fetched, a hit is a file in the cache already. According
to the faq, a TCP_NEGATIVE_HIT is:

    Request for a negatively cached object, e.g. "404 not found", for which
    the cache believes to know that it is inaccessible (Also refer to the
    explaination for negative_ttl in your squid.conf).

There's quite a good summary here:
