Usability: Do mac users understand "right-click"?

I have a feature of my application which depends on alternate-click. Windows users don't understand "alternate-click" though, and I was wondering if most mac users understood "right-click", and if so if they were offended or annoyed when they see such text.

Does anyone have experience developing usable (consumer) applications for mac users? Does anyone have any opinions on this?

Mac OS X calls it secondary click, although the term "right click" is visible even in Apple's documentation.

Why don't you ease it out and create two different texts displayed for the two different systems?
