If you start your book with "It was a dark and stormy night..." right away people will be pulled in the story by the sense of mystery. That's how the Bible started, and it's the best book there is.

No, I just dislike everything about that specific word and how it's used, both how it sounds (clumsy) in sentences and the full extent of what it implies, both about the person using it and more generally as a phenomenon.
