Anyone come across “half hazard” for “haphazard” ? I’ve heard this said a lot but today I was guilty of using half-hazzard :)

I’ll resurrect this one for everyone’s enlightenment and edification by sharing the variation I encountered recently:
A ways back, I half-hazzardly defaced a screenprint for Agent Ink Gallery where a well-dressed eyeball doodle subsequently ended up tattooed on the dermal region of said gallery owner’s forearm.

Here the idea of haphazardness could be influenced by the term “half-assed”, which means virtually the same thing as “haphazard”.
