I don't think I've ever seen faze spelled like that before. Wouldn't phase me if I haven't.
faze
verb
[with object]informal
Disturb or disconcert (someone)
‘she was not fazed by his show of anger’
Usage
Faze has no connection with the word phase and should not be spelled with a ph-, although this is a common error: almost a quarter of citations for the word in the Oxford English Corpus are for the incorrect spelling
Origin
Mid 19th century (originally US): variant of dialect feeze ‘drive or frighten off’, from Old English fēsian, of unknown origin.
