My son has been calling his father "fa-zha," which sounds like (zsa zsa gabor) -- fa - zha -- accent on "fa."
I think it's funny and asked him today where he got that from. He said he didn't know but thought a friend of his might have said it but can't remember which friend. I'm wondering if this is a true word for father.

I do not think so, but in Austin Powers' movie "Goldmember", Goldmember (who is, according to the film, Dutch) says "fazha", as in:
Goldmember: Dr. Evil, we still have the ultimate insurance policy. May I present to you, the very sexual, the very toite, Austin Power's fahza.
Dr. Evil: His what?
Number 2: His fahza, Dr. Evil.
Dr. Evil: His farger? What's a farger?
Goldmember: His fahza. You know, the fahza.
Dr. Evil: You know Goldmember, I don't speak freaky-deaky Dutch. Okay, perv boy?
Goldmember: Fahza, his dad, dad is fahza.
Dr. Evil: Oh, his dad. His *fa-ther*

Dad, Pop, Papa, Daddy, Sire, Pops, Patriarch, and some more, I'm guessing. In my house, the word was "sir."

He got it from Austine Powers Golden Member. The bad guy was a Swedish Disco guy who pronounced it that way.

It could be that your son's friend is not of American descent. Just as long as you continue to instill in your son the "Correct" pronunciation of your culture, then you have no problem
