    I
    1) (заочно, в отсутствие кого-либо (говорить о нём что-либо, смеяться над ним и т. п.)) in smb.'s absence; without smb.'s knowledge; behind smb.'s back

    Я, конечно, знал, что люди вообще плохо говорят друг о друге за глаза, но эти говорили обо всех особенно возмутительно. (М. Горький, В людях) — Naturally I knew that people were inclined to say nasty things behind your back, but it was particularly exasperating to hear these three...

    2) (не видя (купить, нанять и т. п.)) without ever having seen smb., smth.; cf. on spec

    Молодой человек заговорил с проезжим по-французски. - Куда изволите вы ехать? - спросил он его. - В ближайший город, - отвечал француз, - откуда отправляюсь к одному помещику, который нанял меня за глаза в учители. (А. Пушкин, Дубровский) — The young man spoke to the traveller in French. 'Where are you bound for, sir?' he asked. 'For the neighbouring town,' replied the Frenchman: 'and from there I am going to a landed proprietor who has engaged me as tutor without ever having seen me.'

    II
    (вполне хватит, вполне достаточно, довольно) more than enough; enough and to spare; have one's fill

    Павлу Алексеевичу за глаза хватало нового жизненного пространства. (Ю. Нагибин, Берендеев лес) — His newly acquired residential space was more than enough for Pavel Alexeyevich.

    - Дак вдругорядь-то не стукались? - Что-ты! Нам и того сраженья - за глаза. (В. Белов, Привычное дело) — 'Ye didn't come back a-knocking then?' 'Not us! We'd had our fill!'

    Поглядев на удостоверение с печатью Большого дома, Прокофьев стал в позицию «чего изволите?» и уступил - без попыток сопротивления (Эткинд 1). Having seen this document with the stamp of the Big House, Prokofiev took up an "at your service" attitude and gave in without the slightest resistance (1a).
