Good God.
The word is "chafing" (abrade by rubbing). ONE 'f'. Pronounced with a long "a" sound, like "aid".
Chaffing (teasing, mocking) is a completely different word. Pronounced with a short "a" sound, like "apple".
While I'm at it (not JDT, just a pet peeve): "faze" (disturb) NOT, repeat, NOT, "phase" (states or cycles of a system; or, aspect of moon or planet).
Being "phased" is something that happens when Captain Kirk shoots at you (though, being phased could certainly faze you, for a brief instant).
