Well, isn't that just a happy little question! The simile for "as stiff as a" can be "as stiff as a board." Just imagine a sturdy board that doesn't bend or move easily - that's how stiff something can be when we use this comparison. It's all about bringing a touch of imagery and creativity to our words, like adding a splash of color to a beautiful painting.
