Many players tend to use the term "Uke" as a nickname for the Ukulele.
Some refer to their instruments by the maker or the type of ukuleleor a nickname they have for their 'babies', things I've heard include:
My Martin
Fluke - a quality plastic uke that is great for the beach
Flea - same people who make the Fluke
The Beater - usually the first ukulele one had, no longer the favorite, but servicable.
A ukulele is sometimes abbreviated in writing and speaking as uke.
