His pants were as wrinkled as an elephant! I'm not sure what you mean by an "original simile."
No. The word "as" is never a verb. In a simile, like or as acts as a preposition (or, arguably, as a truncated version of a conjunction).Example:Bill is as tough as a bulldog (...is tough).He fights like a tiger (...fights).
Billy boy was tough as nails.
This is a simile comparing someone or something to nails. Nails are hard and tough, so this person or thing is being declared to be very hard and tough.
Possibly "as strong as an ox".
Think about this and you can figure it out. Are nails hard and tough? The kind made of steel certainly are - this simile compares someone's strength and toughness to that of a nail.

A cliche used to be an original figurative expression, but it is so overused that it is no longer creative. An original figurative expression is a unique phrase that is like a simile or metaphor.
